We are floating in sea of Data and Nothingness

There is nothing solid or concrete in and around.All our perception is through data movement. Eye does not see it only transfer the data. The Data is interpreted by the brain. Brain is totally conditioned by our learning, culture and society.We only know what has been shared, taught and experienced by others. There is nothing like unique or original. We can not be completely free from our judgements and bias.How do we become completely free from our perceptions based on wrong and inaccurate facts? Cause of war, terrorism and fanaticism and conflicts can also be traced to our misguided interpretation of simple facts of existence.

"How do we become completely free from our perceptions based on wrong and inaccurate facts?" By remembering 'what you know for sure'---that you are alive, which way "up" is, which way "down" is, and that most things you know about yourself you can only guess about anyone else: I hope you're healthy, but only you can know for-sure whether you are or not.
(Maybe that's what Jesus Christ was saying when He said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged; for with whatever measure ye mete, the same shall ye be met as well.")
Inspecting these 'things you know,' you can be sure that whatever else you learn is standing on a steady foundation.

Perceptions are always different and it could not be same for everyone. Had it been same for everyone, there would not have been war or terrorism. What you wrote is nonetheless makes a positive sense.

A half filled glass is perceived as half filled or half empty. We can choose it as it we wish to interpret.Science says every action has an equal and opposite reaction.so do our actions.
What we can do to avoid war and conflict is develop a sense of tolerance. It has been preached by all wise men and women for ages.When we start looking to all living things with the sense that they have similar needs as us we develop a bond with others.
Our mind is always logical but the heart is full of emotions. Some situations require emotions to prevail others need logic to conduct.
To rise above our perceptions of right or wrong we need to apply both our mind and our heart.
