Truth is like a multi-faceted jewel, and how it looks to you really all depends on where you happen to be standing. Truth is subjective, just look at religion, how many groups there think they know the truth.

By "we", I assume you mean humanity in general. By "truth", do you mean universal principles? Or are you referring to honesty? The answers to your question will be impacted by the meanings you give to these words. In these times of spoon-fed propagandas in order to push political agendas, sell products, or cover scandals, there does seem to be a dearth of simple truths upon which people can rely long enough to form educated opinions or take appropriate actions. However, on a deeper level, I do believe we are Holograms of Infinite Good, and the principles of all existence are woven into the fabric of our beings, so when we are led (or choose) a path of distortion, there is an inborn part of us that somehow knows when we are out of balance with cosmic Truths, and we then hunger and thirst for return to our Divine Balance. Nothing less satisfies. If we trust our inner voice, all earth's distractions fall away as we once more commune with the All-Knowing that exists within us.

We don't need to find the Truth because the Truth is that people can't handle the truth and that will never change.

I believe that if we are seeking the Truth we will find it. There is only one Truth..it cant be multiple truths.
There are some things that we seek to find the truth about that we cannot possibly know while we are living. We seek the truth and the journey to finding it is our lives. We will only find it when our lives are over.
I do have to say that many, many people are satisfied with lies and half-truths and to them ignorance is bliss...they dont want to know and are not seeking to know more than what they currently know to be true.
You might say that there are only two kinds of people...those who are seeking and those who arent.

Matters until it is spoken or written have only one form - that is the truth. So to find truth read unwritten and hear unspoken.

Most of us are looking for the "comfortable," which oh-so rarely translates as "the truth." I think the truth taht none of us can possibly imagine.

The truth if questioned to oneself. is when your mind comes in complete acceptance with the irrefutable answer to a question, experience or thought.

Science searches for one type of truth, and it is a very good system of inquiry because it "dares" you to disprove its discoveries . But "truth", in a larger sense, is beyond our imagination.

Truth is relative. One man's lie is another's truth.
