Belief effects a person's perception. Perception is the reality of that person unless amended with open and critical thought.... Don't believe me? Ask any two children who are arguing...they BOTH feel they are right and BOTH feel that the way they saw it happen is what happened and the other person is lying.

Reality translates to perceptions. The human experience is a byproduct of reality. Perceptions, or past perceptions, experiences, create beliefs. Beliefs, however, are just statements of perception, summaries, statements, postulates. So beliefs can affect perception. For instance, when I'm eight years old I smile at a girl and she looks away immediately, conveying that she thought it to be odd behavior. Based on that experience, I gain the belief that I am ugly. I infer from perception a belief. Then in the future, if I am told to smile at girls because it's socially proper, I will fear it because I have the belief that I am ugly. Experiences create beliefs initially, but beliefs can affect experiences. Beliefs alter perception and ultimately experiences because the human condition is one of subjectivity determined by beliefs gained through past experiences.

its depend on what you believes..
if you believe that reality is relative to one who percept it.. then yes..
but sometime we also called this imagenary, idealized, and false nature reality..
but if you believe that reality is something universal.. then no..
and this mean.. you could percept reality precisely..
but fortunately.. we are not :)
one who dont understand this, eventualy will have one of those fake reality..
how about you?
