Perception is a strange thing, it
changes from person to person. Sure you will hear similarities but in most cases none of them really add up to the point that is being made. Belief also plays a big roll in perception, look at the Muslims for example. Their perception of god is a figure that wants them to kill in the name of god. They see it as a honorable death but we see it as a retarded death. Someone who is willing to die to get laid by 71 virgins or so, were they even told if they were all female?

But perceptions d
oesn't have to be only point of view. Perception can also be how someone translates a situation or analyzes a situation. Like in Iraq many people think we are winning or we already won, but to me we are losing slowly and the "political leaders" are the ones who will decide if we lose or win. The reason I saw we are losing is because moral at the home front is lowering... people are saying bring our soldiers home and as soon as that gets worst then we will lose the physical and PR war. We are losing infantry every week and eventually the military will reach its limit. Sure only 10% of our military might is holding Iraq but one day someone will say "lets cut our loses and pull out." Don't get me wrong I fully support our soldiers... hell I am even willing to be there and die for the US if the time comes.

Another thing perception can referrer to is how stories have been told and if the information is correct. Stories have always been told and repeated over and over. But its been said that stories that have been 
passed for generation is different every time it is told. Some stories were told to mask the person telling the stories ignorance or shameful actions. But some stories were meant to pass knowledge and understanding. It all depends on the person telling the story, did the story teller have anything to hide? did the story teller have anything they wanted the world to know? Most false stories are coming from the persons fear and their worry of self image.

In my opinion there is such a thing as the truth, but not from stories but from science and investigation. Forensics cannot be faked or told in ten different versions. The evidence and science proves one story and eliminates the other ones. The stories can be twisted but the evidence cannot be unless the evidence is inserted into the equation. People lie and will always lie and that is what creates their perception of a story. Some people who lie so much and want to believe in their own story and nothing else will end up believing their story is the ultimate truth. In other words people end up lying to themselves and no even know it.
It reminds me of my grandmother, everyone that knows her can tell you she lies about a lot of things and even believes them to a point. She lies about financial things as well as minor family issues just so she wouldn't look like a fool. But people aren't stupid and sometimes her lies don't make out. Old age has taken its toll and now she believes most of the lies and crap she makes up. She likes to play mind games and sadly many people fall for it but most of my extended family isn't THAT stupid. Well at least I think soo...
