It depends on what you mean by truth. Two people can look at a picture from different angles and see something different. Both of them are seeing "the truth", but from a different angle.

In fact, perception has a way of making things true. For example, assume that the stock market is not crashing. Now let's say a news caster breaks in and says that the stock market is crashing (his perception). What is everyone watching probably going to do? Pull out their stock of course. That could start a run on the stock market and then it really would start crashing. So, perception made reality (truth) in its own image.

Now, I'm a staunch believer that there is some objective truth out there - unfortunately, I also believe you are unable to fully see it unless you take yourself outside the reality you are observing (impossible unless your God). So, although it exists, and we can strive for it all we want (and we should), we will never actually know absolute truth.

Ahhhh... a discussion of philosophy always warms the heart
