For example, person A sees reality as beautiful, it is the truth from the vantage point of person A. But
person B sees it ugly, so that interpretation is coming from Person B's perception. The two persons
interpreted reality in two varied ways, however, the two interpretations are coming from the two
persons' different standpoints on what the reality is for them. In other words, the word truth can
mean different things to different people. It is based on how the reality is appreciated by the knowers
who are interpreting it. This reality is what we called "facts."
