Truth is defined by stability and consistency. Truth must not change.
Absolute truth would be what is unchangeable for ever. Because time moves only through change, it is defined by change. Therefore the absolute truth must be timeless or not bound by time. We are however bound by time and exist within the time boundaries of a beginning and an end. This means that we can not know the absolute truth with any certainty within our relatively short lifetime.
We can only know the relative truth... truth that is relatively steady and unchangeable within such time frame within which we exist. These being relative truths, these can vary for different people. Therefore, our truth is subjective as well.
All this means that..... whatever one genuinely believes to be true is the truth for that person as long as the belief remains steadfast without changing due to any inconsistent development. This is why our truth is philosophically equated with an illusion.... these are limited truths we experience in our lives and no way for us to determine which of these is an absolute truth.
Because our concept of God is also a timeless entity without any beginning or end, we may conclude that God is the absolute truth.

Truth is something that can sometimes be bitter!But better to know the truth is better!Truth can be defined as something that can change a person's life for the good or bad!But truth is not an illusion it is the fact of life!

I am defining truth for understanding of common man / layman - and not from highly elevated spiritual point of view.
Truth - related to a particular thing is an outcome - when all questions about that particular things are answered and answers are vefied with supportive evidences
From our day to day life point of view....
Truth is what you believe to be true in good faith - from scientifically conveniencing information available to you.

Truth: a collection of indisputable facts.
Illusion is misdirection used by people who want you to think they are preforming magic. When all they are doing is distracting you from the fact they are doing something with the other hand.
The term is 'Correct'; Right is a slang term for the meaning of Correct.
We learn rules by interaction and when we study rules we were taught we become aware of laws we choose to stand up for and which ancestors we choose to protect, or we become a Lawyer.

truth by definition comes in two ironclad forms.
rational (reason;1+2=3) and intuitive(formed by experience and sensitivity)
the second can always be argued on acount of it origin,Perspective.everyon form and maintains a unique view of the wold around them and makes all decisions based on varying degrees of rigt-brain/ left-brain arguments and internal debate.
All of yor pretenses are viable truthes
rational truthes are constantly bombarded with new facts and varibles to test their perspective. IE clasifying a theory into a law untill someone proves its reason flawwed
Intuitive truthes manifest throug experienc and can achieve a dopplar like effect.If I confront an outside belief with a new perspective(bigotry is a learned behavior but is anckored to our suvival instincts to beware alien threats)that my oponents instinct is clouded by negative experience or anchored to a falsehood constucted to protect a frail ego.then his or her opinion opens to anew version of truth.
an Illusion can never become a truth but can be used to illustrate the principle of a truth...example
Roleplaying to gian anothers perspective can provide a shared truth.

Execution of which does not make you to repent & also does not harm humanity.
There is very thin division between truth & falls! both are two sides of one coin, what is true in one situation may be falls in other and visa-versa.

Truth = Satya
Jise tumhara man mane
Jise Bhagwan se patrta(recognise) ho
Jo janta mein swikarya ho
Jo atal ho wohi satya hai
