Question

Please explain your idea.

Thanks for your time, and have a good day!

'In your perspective'
I could be trying to bring up an answer biasedly.
I wasn't concerned on the collective notion.

Answer 1

Quite truthfully, one may never know what is really true or false. from each person's perspective, they are taught what is true or false and expected to accept and believe that. so the thing that chracterizes it would have to be the person who taught it to me or wrote it down and i read it. if many people write the same thing, i assume it's true. of course, this is not a good method when it comes to religious issues. after all, if you want to find out what happens after you die, you can't take the majority of what people say simply because they don't have first hand experience (or they can't prove it). Overall, i think in the end it's the influences and what you hear from the people you trust the most. we(as people) have come to accept certain facts of history from artifacts but once in a while a historian comes in and spins the concept on its head. Ussually our first reaction is: no way. because it's so different from what we are used to hearing. Just like when Galileo suggested that two things of different weights would land at the same time(and other things), he was declared insane becuase it went against the teachings of Archemedies, and in that time, Archemedies was the "saint" of science. I think in the end I form my own opinion off what i hear and learn from others. the more educated you are on that subject, the more unlikely you are to be wrong.

Answer 2

U got that right fellow, PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE, even scientific facts that used to be true were rendered untrue upon recent discoveries. Truth & falsehood are both relative terms. Absolute truth is an absolute lie as knowlege is circumstantial to time & events themselves. Hence I quote Oscar Wild: The simple & pure truth is rarely simple & never pure. What is truth's & falsehood's nature? Relativity, yes, the fact that something is true or false depends on the person doing the weighing & the facts he/she selects as a base for setting a footing in order to launch an investigation that would eventually lead to a judgement. Hence had he/she based their judgement on more diversified facts their judgement most probably would have been different. One portrait could be perceived by the eye of its beholder in a dozen ways depending on the lens he/she chooses. Nevertheless its always about angles when it comes down to judgement & we sure are lucky that all humans see the stars up in the heavens in the same way!!!

Answer 3

Both truth and untruth have to be perceived by us to be so. Even someone else's reality has to be perceived by us, whether through written words or spoken words. Words as with experiences can mean quite different things to different people. Perspective can only ever be subjective. The same experience can be perceived differently by different individuals.
Art attempts to convey the artist's exploration through life, but even that does not convey definitively what the artist sees, hears, feels, that is open to our interpretation; what we see, hear, feel. Thank goodness for the diversity of life.

Answer 4

In philosophy readings I have concluded
that there is empirical knowledge and
metaphysical knowledge.
If I tell you its 30 degrees outside but in reality the
temperature is 40, that is empirically wrong. The
key to empirical knowledge is experience through
the five senses and science.
Metaphysical "knowledge" deals
with the nature of all things, how we got here and
so forth. Therefore, if you are Judaic, you believe
that Christ was a person other than the son of God.

Answer 5

One of the main characteristics of truth or false is time. Something can be true one moment and false the next..

It is fun to find an answer to a question within the question itself.

Answer 6

False, by definition, has as a characteristic IMPERMANENCE. Thus all things (mental and physical phenomenon) is false by nature, having a beginning, middle and end. That which is left(not fathomable by the mind) is the only absolute truth.

Answer 7

I never believe everything I am told and I only believe half of what I see..........True and false very between humans...what is my truth - say religion--could be your false- you don't believe in religion.

Inside myself I am guided by the 'doubt system'...when in doubt; I don't. When I get that queasy feeling inside that something just doesn't seem right and the red flags fly in my mind.........IT MUST BE FALSE>

My truths are proven facts.

Answer 8

Truth is reality in a communicable description of reality. Truth is not reality, it is an accurate description of it. But because of the limitation of human perception and knowledge and understanding of things perceived and known, we do not know truth ultimately, and conversely all that is false either.

Answer 9

In my perspective, anything in my head is "true", unless proven otherwise. I am constantly seeking this type of proof. That is how I grow.

I generally, though, rely on trusted sources and scientific backing to make a determination of truth. But I realize that often "truth" has no absolutes... so it can be a slippery slope.

Answer 10

What is true to me is anything that is coming from or leading to a place of love. Love meaning no harm, and no judgment, only compassion and acceptance. So anything that fits that description is truth.

Something that is false is something that harms or does nothing to further develop my consciousness and my soul and over progress as a human being.
