The truth, reality and perceived reality

There are times when the truth and reality will not be that of perceived reality. Only the person (people) experiencing reality will know the truth, all others will say call some imaginary state reality - that of what they perceive reality should be.

They say that  the truth is stranger than fiction and that is sometimes the truth. I know this for fact on too many occasions to discount this as just a string of words or something I bring up in a mere party conversation. I now know.

Usually, most of us will say reality is something that we think reality should be, even if the information is imparted to one by an impeccable source. This is the normal (one should say abnormal) human state. This is why we are constantly fooled.

The reason is because we are usually relying on our experiences, or our information that we have collected over time. This can be mixed with information that is not real. To know something requires real information or if sourced from somewhere else, information that is can be relied upon ie. by real testing or experimentation of the observation (I can't remember the precise word for this at the moment).
