There are no facts, only interpretations.What we see depends more on ourselves than on what is "out there." We see what we assume (believe) will be there. We see what we expect (demand) to be there. We see what we fear will be there. And we see what we wish will be there. Then we label what we "see" as facts.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Wherever there are disagreements and confrontations, there are at least two perfectly valid interpretations that are vehemently labeled as "fact." Everyone considers "I'm right, you're wrong," to be a fact - the only difference is to whom "I" and "you" refer.

Test yourself
Go for a walk have a look at your suroundings
think about how you are viewing what you see
do you see the scene as it is or can you see yourself partaking of activities within the scene
This is a true test of the clarity of your thoughts
