"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not a truth"...

I disagree with what Aurelius states in this quote. I guess what he is trying to say is that there aren't any facts or truth in the world and that is something I don't believe. I think some people find solace in thinking that we don't have any control in what happens to us and that even though we think we can explain our surroundings, God or whomever/whatever they believe in, has ultimate control and is the only truth regardless of what we see or experience. I, on the other hand, think that is absolutely terrifying. I find comfort in facts because they are the only things I can rely on. I can find no proof that God exists, but I can find proof that Earth is one of eight planets that orbit the sun, for example. This isn't to say that there aren't opinions or perspectives, though. Every person has their own perspective and opinions on what happens in life, but I hope that when I look out my window and see a blue sky, the sky is in fact blue and that is the truth. Some people argue that mental illnesses are examples of how our eyes can sometimes deceive us, so how can we trust our sight? In this case, although sight might not be trustworthy, I trust the science of mental illnesses and complications in our brains to be the reality of the situation. Maybe I should be more open minded though...
