But, we apply previous information through a lens defined by assumptions or preconceptions - this is "perception"... Viewpoint (the direction from which we view it) is just as important. It is colored by our experiences and the source of our own beginnings. It can also be termed "perspective"... These two tools are how we view and process what we sense.
Truth is the extant state. To build upon it, only truth can be added to it (Boolean AND truth table)... Any introduction of falsehood into that collection of truth collapses the aggregate into falsehhood... There is no state of "more true" than another state, because the observer is making judgments about the collection of states. If one has less than the whole collection, then the conclusion is false... [There can only be Truth (in aggregate, universally) or there is falsehood (anything short of that universality).]
DO... or DO NOT... there is no TRY!
