Truth and Our View of It

I had to stop and think that my view of what truth is and what is actually true are two very different things. I realized that truth in the cognitive sense is all in how I view it. It's completely based upon my perspective. What I perceive to be true may not actually be so. What you perceive to be truth may differ from my view in small ways or be the exact opposite. How then can we both be right about truth? Who is to say then which one of us is wrong and what if we both are wrong. You see, it is entirely possible that we are both wrong, but it is emphatically impossible for us both to be right if our views differ even in the slightest aspect.
