Answer 1

How do you know truth is true?
- As i do know, about myself.

Phylosopically (or logically) truth cannot be found, because you would have question over that argument, as refutation. That is known as the limitation of philosophy indeed. But rationally truth has been found, like we found natural laws, easily, when concentrate sincerily.

does truth change over time?
-Truth never changes over time, it always remain there as a form or proof. e.g days and night, our own identity, other visble forms, and unseen realities.

However our intentions can lead to us on different soloutions, may be right or wrong, but see not one thing can be right and wrong at the same time.

how do you know that you know that?
- Upon realization of the fact, i know then it is now known to me.

Logics uses the thinking power only, but even if it is reached it cannot realize to perceive the reality in its form, e.g. people believes in angels, regardless, but they have never seen them in there real form, so there are always 2 levels of knowing, first to know by not seeing, and then by seeing on which you believe, this second level is not common.

isn't knowledge knowing what you know?
- Nothing is without any forms, even our thoughts have a medium of ether like space, where we see forms, some of them we named imaginations and some are real thoughts. So the light of knowledge is passed from someone who is All Knowledgeable, this is what our mind demands, and ignore the possibility of nothing, i.e from nothingness knowledge we possess. Hense answer is yes Knowledge (All Knower) knows what i know, now.

Answer 2

Truth is something like a fact, an explanation or description of an event that has occurred. There is no positive or negative

However, true or false is more of an opinion. It is what people feel whether the truth mentioned is true or false. Basically, I feel that it is how people viewed it to be.

Therefore, whether truth is true depends on people's perception, own life experiences, the types of information received by an individual before learning about the truth, cultures and own upbringing.

Personally, I feel that truth will not change overtime. What really will influence and change it would be the different interpretation given.
This can be seen as the different versions of interpretation of the historical events that has happened.

Knowledge does not mean knowing what I know. Knowledge, is basically a collection of the information and data I am able to made used of presently or in the future.
In addition, sometimes there can be things that I learn, yet I may not be able to see, understand and truly know about it.

Answer 3

Truth by nature cannot be abstract. If truth changes, than it is not true. You can know something is true by evidence. The sky appears blue to the human eye, this is true. Cat's don't give birth to puppies, this is true. If something you thought was true changes, than it was never true to begin with. Laws of nature are true: for example, the law of gravity is true. If the law of gravity ever changed then nothing in the universe would work the way it works. There is organization and structure to everything in the world around you. There are laws that don't change that you can rely on to keep your life normal. When you sit in a chair you don't expect it to disappear under you. It may break but there are many physical laws that we depend upon every day and rely on being true. If truth is something humans made up that is abstract then you can't depend on these laws being true every day. If you live your life like that you might be put in a straight jacket because people will think you've gone crazy talking about the end of the world.

Answer 4

This is indeed a Star question born out of deep thoughts and ideas!!

Our truth is relative to context and time. Knowledge is the truth as relevant to the context and time. Today's knowledge is today's truth... if tomorrow it is proved wrong and replaced by a more refined or altered knowledge, that becomes the truth for tomorrow.

Time is defined by change, because change is the prime function of time. Therefore, if there is any absolute truth, it ought to be free from the time dimension... in other words, it ought to be timeless. Since we can never know timelessness, so we can never know absolute truth... we can however conceptualize it and that is how God came in to be in our thoughts.

Answer 5

"Truth Is" no matter what any one person thinks or believes since no man can create, change, or destroy the truth. This truth will never change over time.

The only thing that changes is man's perception or understanding of the truth. Even adding more knowledge will only change man's perception of the truth.

For me I know truth is true because it reaches past my intellect and mind and touches my soul and heart where the world of children dwell. Without children, truth is not reborn in this earth for hope, and love, and compassion, and goodwill.

The way an adult will know the wonder of childhood is through love. For love gives birth to truth or is the doorway to truth.

Answer 6

A person can tell that the truth is true by receiving proof that it is true or seeking proof to support their theory that it is true. I know this because if someone told me that the sky is blue and I said no it's not but then the person told me to look up, I'd see that it is. Knowledge is acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation; general erudition. Further proof that the sky is blue would go on into explaining why the sky is blue.

Answer 7

truth is an abstract concept made by humans because we like to delude ourselves into believing in certain knowledge. There's no "truth" per se, only a more accurate description of current conditions. Thus, truth will seem to change over time as we gain more knowledge that leads us to believe things with greater accuracy than previously done. I know this because great philosophers spent their entire lives thinking about this very question and it'd be a shame if they weren't on the wrong track. Knowledge is knowing what you know, but the concept of universal knowledge is ambiguous because we cannot know anything for absolute certainty.

Answer 8

The truth feels right,it's what you know on first instinct.How do you know it's the truth cos it can't be argued it's undisputed.How do i know that truth is undisputed, because we have all been told what is wrong and what is right,our conscience speaks for us regardless of what we have been told or taught. Abe Lincoln once said: "I aim to do right where ever possible and keep doing so until the end,if i come out wrong then so be it,Ten angels swearing i was right would make no difference."

Answer 9

that is difficult to answer. Oh how simpler life would be that truth is as basic as black and white but alas In the real world there are many shades of gray in the word truth. Some say to follow whats in your heart to be true in your point of view. And it could be a different kind of truth for some one else A divorce attorney told me once he listens to her truth then his . and it his job to sort out and find the truth which is a needle in a haystack. So in reality it good to believe in your truth, but accept with an open mind and heart for other points of views of your truth.

Answer 10

Truth is a term made by the human...
Is evolves over time...It can be made to morph into any idea..
The truth for him is that he loves you, the truth for you is that he is using you. Truth changes with the perspective of different people. What is true is not false? Then is truth absolute? No...
Truth is what you want it to be...
