Since all of our perceptions vary from one person to the next, and these perceptions are distorted even further throug our own unique interpretations, how can anyone reliably say they know the truth.

Truth is what we cannot change

If our interpretations distort the truth, that means there's only one thing we can be certain about: our interpretations. Everything else is an assumption. That doesn't mean that a particular person's truth is relative, it only means that everybody has a different perspective on things. There is no wall between us and the so called truthful truth. After all, our feelings and particularities are part of the truth too (they are the primary truth).

THE TRUTH IS... This is not a good philisophical question... that is (from a satanists point of view "THE" truth) however, that is not what i think, Truth is different for everyone except cameras. The human mind can always distort things to believe what they want, so usually one party will think they are right when they are not true. Example would be southerners wanting to have stars and bars as a license plate if ancestors participated in the war, which they find to be glorious... so do some third reich decendants probly, both find themselves true, but the rest of us see them as idiots. soooo there is no answer except...what do YOU think?

As you are a thing which observes and perceives, the truth can only be what you observe and perceive.
Whether or not the truth exists outside of yourself, depends on your belief about objective reality. If there is objective reality, then there is certainly objective truth. However, as you are a subjective being and not an objective being, you can only know subjective truth.

The truth is 'inside of you', but what you believe to be the truth could just be an illusion-when we stop time momentarilly and look within spent time we can usually discover if our truth was just the masking of our own blindness or the truth waiting for you to see it-feel it-share it

Truth is the mass acceptance of an opinion.

The truth is what we make it. It is the results of the observations we make in life in different situations and circumstances.

Truth may be subjective after all!
But in general it is something we all mutually agree upon.

Truth must be something lost because people are always trying to find it.
