The Truth

So here's what I've noticed about the truth: we're all convinced of the rightness of our own perception of it, and two perfectly reasonable, intelligent people can easily have vastly different interpretations of truth. Not like this is an original idea or anything, but I've become pretty damn aware of it of late. To put it simply: I'm never as good as the people who think most highly of me think I am, and I'm never as bad as the people who hold me in contempt believe me to be.
