possible story base for a new story im thinking about writing... ideals?

Nothing is truth, everything is permitted. Humans see what is, what we believe to be true, therefore if I BELIEVE that i am floating off the floor, and you BELIEVE that I am floating, then the mind perceives it as TRUTH, and by that theory, I am floating, but as science proves that it can not be physically possible and therefore not in fact truth, but with that, who is one to know what really is truth in reality, or just the minds fabrication of a false reality where everyone just happens to agree on a "truth" based on the common views and opinions of society. So with that being said, nothing is truth, everything is permitted, and humans live their own lies that they preach against so very often

Perception is reality? The more people that believe it to be so that it becomes true? Or merely the thought alone is all that's needed?

Been there pondered that

Actually when I think about it this is displayed in several movies. First is Unbreakable. In the movie Bruce Willis' character is invincible/superhuman. Now all his life he's never done anything extraordinary. Once he's been told is when he actually attempts lifting a huge amount of weight successfully. His perception of being human/normal is the only thing that held him back. He was always powerful, and yet only used the minimum. Nearly limitless power and yet he set himself at a lower level. The next film is of course The Matrix. Anyone that's seen the film knows how Neo overcame the limits set by him. All his life he thought he was human in a human world. Upon learning it was all false he could jump high, fly, dodge bullets, etc. So the collective belief can be effective in limiting one's ability as well as diminishing one's potential.
