Yes, there are ones who realise the truth- Ignorance is the greatest threat to humanity.
Be ever mindful, keep on contemplating and learning.
Still the mind, remove the imperfections and embrace peace & compassion.

My thought on 'TRUTH'
We know that ALL cultures separated ALL OVER THE WORLD document a similar story regarding God and our relationship to him/her/it.
Back then, when people wrote things down, it was NOTHING like today where any trivial garbage is worthy of print. Writings were sacred and rare and histories were recounted with humble good faith to the best of their limited ability to understand. We should be trying to decipher the truths hidden therein. NOT scoff at them!
EVERY culture or group has a 'creation story', 'laws' to live your life by and an 'Armageddon story' (even science). We need to accept that ALL these writings have inaccuracies and misconceptions but stem from one COMMON TRUTH that has been lost to the past.
It's not hard to see that SOMETHING fundamental and possibly NON-scientific occurred at the dawn of humanity.
I dare not attempt to hypothesise on exactly WHAT that truth might be but I WILL say that neither RELIGION nor SCIENCE has a satisfactory account of how we or the universe got to be here. I will also say that I believe science has the best approach, though it needs to broaden it's horizons and not be so arrogant toward non-scientific methods.
EXTREMISM IN ANY DIRECTION GOES NOWHERE!

Yes, the truth is out there, somewhere. It is inside you. To get to it, you must sit, be silent, and listen. The truth that you seek will come to you. Words will not be able to contain it nor will they be able to explain the truth from your point of view. However, the truth for you can not be the truth for me, because I have a different point of view. Therefore, everyone has the truth for themselves and that truth it theirs and theirs alone.

The word 'objective' is silly. Used by fantasists and scientists who think that the mind is capable of arriving at 'objective' truth.
To be objective you'll first need to renounce possession of your mind and detach yourself from your consciousness, hover in an unknown dimension, die to everything you know as 'self', be reborn in another world, come back to Earth and then speak of things that have not come from your own mind.
Scientists sound so absurd when they try to speak in the language of absolutes and objective reality, which in each generation they do with such aggravating pomp and arrogance until the next generation comes along and says, 'whoops, they got it wrong, now this is what it is' and so on and so on. Each generation has to put up with its arrogant scientists.

One is RELATIVE Truth which is SUBJECTIVE to the various experience of different persons and THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH is OBJECTIVE and is common for all universally.
For example, RELATIVE Truth is a man is a muslilm, hindu, christian, pharsi, jew, white, black, thin, fat, etc... which varies from person to person according to time, place and circumstances in which one is put under.
Whereas the ABSOLUTE TRUTH is that the essential nature of those persons is the same spirit soul which is common for all persons universally.

reality is not contained in words, but truth has to be. The whole concept of truth is possible because we have langiage.
religion is not truth, it is subjective, theistic versions of wishful thinking tales. Truth is important in law and science, but not in religion.

If it is not contained in words, how do you expect an answer.
Studdert-Kennedy wrote about knowing the truth:
"Not abstarct, but incarnate Truth...not beauty's pasdsing shadow but itself..."
I'll go with that.

Nobody knows everything, science is your best bet at understanding how things work and how we got here and what is real, theologians don't have any more authority on truth than does the plumber or baker I'm afraid.

Everyone has something in his/her inner self, called conscience, It is something like set of true standards, inbuilt within us by almighty & ultimate Creator of everything in this universe, Almighty Allah.
Whenever we voilate the truth, our conscience pinches us and we feel guilty. That's why the true people achieve piece of mind and evil gives impatience and fear.
If you want to know the truth, ask your inner self, try to recognise it, as he who recognises his/her inner original self gets recognised the Ultimate Lord, Allah almighty.

And yet you're asking for people to answer in words... something about that doesn't compute. You shouldn't ask for the truth, then say you can't handle the answer.
