In article one I explain that my thoughts are made up of many other thoughts. My intent is to explain logically how I decided what I perceive as truth through experience and knowledge. Knowledge is built up of information received through many sources, first through our parents then through the education system and so on.
Perception is a power, to understand this lets take a look at the definition.
perception [pəˈsɛpʃən].
n
1. the act or the effect of perceiving.
2. insight or intuition gained by perceiving.
3. the ability or capacity to perceive.
4. way of perceiving; awareness or consciousness; view advertising affects the customer's perception of a product.
5. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Zoology) the process by which an organism detects and interprets information from the external world by means of the sensory receptors.
6. (Law) Law the collection, receipt, or taking into possession of rents, crops, etc.
Perception shapes our thoughts; it’s your own perception that decides whether something is true or false. A lot of people don’t fully think for themselves, they receive information through outside sources and what ever their perception of how reliable that source is depends on how they perceive the information. Now the majority of people rely on the majority perception of whether information is true or false or what is fact and fiction. Now I am telling you it is proved over and over how operating in this way leads to people becoming very deluded for a long, long time, with the Possibility of eons amount of time. It takes just one brave soul to step out from the bliss of ignorance and face being called crazy to prove the majority wrong.
There are different ways of learning the events which happened before being born. The majority of people I know have relied solely on public educational systems; it was called ‘History’ when I was at school; I like to perceive history as ‘his story.’ Through my own research I can tell you that not everything taught at school is entirely accurate, however we can learn allot from what we are taught. I was taught that just a few hundred years ago as late as the 17 century, that the majority of cultures thought that the earth was flat, even to the extent that if you went too far you would fall off the edge and die. There’s a children show that is broadcast by the BBC its called ‘horrible history,’ my kids love it, I love it because it sheds light on how stupid the human race can actually act when acting and relying on what the majority perceive as the truth.

Hi Jimmy you make some very interesting points there. I think the best thing about studying "hi story" is gaining the understanding (as you have clearly done already) that you can't believe everyone. In every culture and country there are different biases and beliefs to be taken into account.
Good article
