what is truth??

Question

really think about this one=)

Answer 1

Truth is what you believe in our heart to be so. Truth is different for everyone because everyone believes a separate thing in their own heart.
When many people agree on certain beliefs, those truths can be subjected onto others and taught in cultures and then subconsciously believed by the members of those societies who were brought up to believe those truths.
The United States even supports this ideal, think of the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self evident....". we separated ourselves into a different nation because we were a culture of people who didn't believe the same ideals were true as those we were previously loyal to.
We broke away and made our own truths.

Answer 2

Truth is that answers have less value than seeking out a deep question. Some things are universally true, like harming another being is wrong. Each life is going to contain some suffering. Everyone wants to be happy. All things come to an end. Some truths have to do with our primate social adaptations, like a guy in his mid20's should not be dating a girl in her mid-teens. Lying breeds suspicion. Gossip create distance between people. It's good to respect your parents and elders. Most things having to do with deeper spiritual meanings do not have any hard and fast truths. None that have any real value. Such matters are all about the speculation, since they deal with non-physical, basically unprovable ideas that border on opinion. Some 'truths' about these matters are nothing but dogma and doctrine, second-hand accounts that prop up Authority and promote one view as the only possible view, degrading the human spirit which was born with the need to question such matters. We need to question. That is truth. Buying someone else's answers might be worthless. That is truth. Always question and don't believe the answers they give you.

“What is Truth?” asked Pilate of one who, if the claims of the Christian Church are even approximately correct, must have known it. But He kept silent. And the truth which He did not divulge, remained unrevealed, for his later followers as much as for the Roman Governor. The silence of Jesus, however, on this and other occasions, does not prevent his present followers from acting as though they had received the ultimate and absolute Truth itself; and from ignoring the fact that only such Words of Wisdom had been given to them as contained a share of the truth, itself concealed in parables and dark, though beautiful, sayings.

Jesus says to the “Twelve”—“Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables,” etc. (Mark, iv, II).
