The truth behind the truth

It's interesting to see two people argue about their truths. Each is saying their version of the truth is the "Truth", and the other's is a lie. But who is to judge which is the 'Truth' and which is not. Each persons perspective and his logic makes him believe that is version is the 'Truth'. We are the sum total of our experiences lived and observed. So that makes us feel this is the truth observed, experienced by me and so it is. But the other is also a sum total of his experiences lived and observed. He feels his truth should prevail. He has not lived and experienced your life and observed the life the way you have, so he has no inkling of what you have perceived.

The 'Truth' here remains a perception of us at a given moment in time. Do we base all our decisions on this one moment perception, or do we step back and logically and dispassionately view each moment as it is now and not view it from our past perception curtains.

The Power of Now is this, viewing, experiencing each moment in that moment and not carrying it beyond that moment. Have we the will to live like that?
