  • Essay / What is Truth? - 1496

    Truth can be defined as conformity to reality or actuality and for something to be "true" it must be public, eternal and independent. If the “truth” does not follow these guidelines, it cannot be “true.” Obviously, on the contrary, anything that goes against the limits of “truth” is inevitably false. Right and wrong, in many cases it doesn't seem like a simple black and white situation; sometimes there may be no reason to decide what is true and what is false. All truths are a matter of opinion. Truth is relative to culture, historical era, language and society. All truths that we know are subjective truths (that is, mind-dependent truths) and there is nothing more to the truth than what we are willing to assert as true ( Hammerton, Matthew). One thing may be true for me while for another it may not be. So it depends from person to person and here the role of perception comes into play. As truth is a vital part of our knowledge, distinctions between what is true and what is false shape our thinking and therefore must be considered of the utmost importance. We often face this situation in real life through our learning curves and our quest for knowledge to distinguish what is true and what is false. The idea of ​​the existence of absolute truth or also known as universal truth has been debated for centuries. It depends on many factors such as reason, perception and emotion. So there are absolute distinctions between what is true and what is false in areas where a distinction is important and meaningful, but there are also circumstances where truth must be relative to a continuum of certainty. where a happy medium can be found. Something that is not entirely true does not automatically end ... middle of paper ... saying that there is no absolute distinction between what is true and what is false. It depends on perception, emotions, reasoning and language. And therefore, we cannot prove anyone wrong by saying that this is the perfect or correct way to look at things, because each individual has different perceptions based on reasoning, emotions and language. We must therefore learn to accept the opinions and perceptions of others, because no one is likely to have the same perception as others. The distinctions would be relative in various areas of knowledge such as those discussed above. /http://www.universetoday.com/14094/no-doomsday-in-2012/http://theendtimesarehere.com/2011/02/02/end-of-the-world-in-2012-%E2% 80%93-maya-myth/#
