personally - though there are many grey areas in life, I don't like relativism. some things in this world are absolute - God, truth, right, wrong.
However, our perceptions can interpret these things differently (whether that be a right, wrong, or simply innocuous interpretation) which can cause us to question if there are things that are absolute, since everyone else has a different idea of what things are. I personally don't think truth is a result of perception. I think our perception can skew truth though, making it seem that way.
Truth is truth though, even if it surpasses human comprehension.
Then again, there are things that are just completely open to interpretation, in which, i suppose perception is everything.
(does that make any sense?)
