When we observe the reality of the world, we form our version of the existing reality (వాస్తవం), which is called our perspective (దృష్టికోణం). However, our perspective often differs from reality, which is a subjective set of facts referred to as truth in its entirety. How close our perspective is to reality determines how aligned we are with the actual world. The quantum of difference between our perspective and reality is directly proportional to our happiness. In essence, the closer our perspectives are to the existing reality, the better our lives will be.
In subjective matters, we tend to define a truth function to gauge this difference.
When we hear something from others, it is just their opinion (అభిప్రాయం), and it may not necessarily represent the actual fact (వాస్తవం). An opinion can usually be evaluated objectively, making it easier to verify.
A perspective is what we develop when we observe a broader scope of reality. When we examine reality through a narrow scope, we form opinions. Therefore, a perspective can differ from reality, and an opinion does not necessarily equate to a fact. Truth becomes a set of facts only after verification through experimentation. Everything in life starts with a broad subjective assessment and narrows down to specific opinions. This process is the only way to gauge and learn things in our lives.
For example, when we mingle with others socially, our mental problems are reduced. This is a perspective. The truth of this claim must be established for its broader scope to be validated.
However, the statement "Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius" is a fact. Before it was proven, it was merely an opinion.
Thus, perspectives provide us with broad subjects. From these, we form opinions, and once proved, they become facts of life.
