I am my perception of what is. I believe what I percieve to be true. Call those perceptions facts if it suits you.

They are merely observations of available data, filtered through the sieve of prior experience, and they may or may not be correct, regardless of how widely held said facts or beliefs are.

The terms are interchangable, for all intents and purposes. Calling something a fact only denotes that it is widely accepted as true.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
