I do not believe in a perception based truth. There are some instances that regardless the amount of perception you put into it, you cannot refute certain truths. You are either unaware of it or lying to yourself.

Take gravity. Believe in it or not, it exists and it is True that gravity will pull you to ground when you jump from a 60 story building trying to fly becaues your "perception" was that you could fly by pure will.

Just so, there is no Santa Claus, regardless if you die as a little girl not knowing the truth. Even if everybody else in the entire world believed in the Santa Claus tale, it still wouldn't make it true that there was a man who lived in the north pole with an army of Elfes to make toys which he would deliver to them on Christmas eve/Christmas morning. Believing doesn't make it so.
