There is no truth...

If you presuppose that truth and falsehood are indistinguishable and that all is a matter of perception, we might as well never tell children that there are no dragons or fairies... or witches (have a guess where that road leads) and leave schizophrenics unprotected, unrestrained and with no medical assistance.
Better to leave questions unanswered than answers unquestioned

I agree but where can you go with that? Perception is deception?

In a way Rickie,
We perceive only what we know to be true, until we receive the truth of a thing itself. One such example is the simple sense of sight, some animals see in color, and some see in monochrome. To each, they would perceive the world is as they see it to be, however it is in fact neither of those things, and is instead simply the reception of vibrational energy as broken down and processed by the organisms brain which is receiving such input.
To perceive something and take such perception as fact, is to close ones mind off to the potentiality that something is different than it appears to be on the surface
So long and thanks for all the fish

I agree. Perception is all we got unless you rely on intuition a lot and I do but some would say intuition is just a type of perception which I think is true as well.
I think one really shouldn't be too sure of ones self and keep you mind open to other/all possibilities.
We are limited creatures in an unlimited universe.

Perceptions can indeed deceive. Case in point the phenomenon of optical illusions. These are perceived but they deceive us. They are not as they appear, so they misrepresent themselves. The statement Truth requires perception means exactly that. All things MUST be perceived. Once we perceive something we must then analyze it, and apply logic to it. If the perception can withstand this scrutiny and still stand on it's own merits, one can identify it as truth.

I don't know if I agree that there is NO truth. I do, however, find that its nigh impossible for humanity to grasp or even find ultimate truth in the universe.

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell

So what are the basics of observation?
first rules are to understand that life..."reality" (at least that which we are experiencing now) is nothing but linguistics and ideas. An idea that someone came up with, developed and then attached a word to it and gave it a definition, then distributed its concrete basis to societies. This is what makes a reality. The energy of thousands of people thinking that one thing is so. In that "thinking" is perception, it is how you think about it that your observation is based on. Obviously the more educated you are in more subjects the more ability you have with observation. Thinking and observing is a practice, you have to practice doing these things.
