What really happened?

So, I've been thinking a lot about the specific events of the other night. We don’t perceive things with our senses as well as we may think. Bring in another person, or more people, and the stories about what actually happened begin to differ. This is why eye witnesses are not super credible in court. But there must be an ultimate truth to every situation, which exists outside the perception of any one individual. Let's face it, our minds prefer our own perception because we’re able to mold it into believing anything we want - anything to make us happy or comfortable, regardless of our conscious efforts. Shit, there are even times when the body goes through such serious trauma, the mind blocks the memory of it – as if it never happened. But it did happen, and often times, repressed memories can come back to bite us in the ass – and those hidden memories can weigh just enough to throw you off balance.
