Many say that truth is different to different People, but how can that be?I believe something is either true or it is not! If someone takes on a different truth to themselves because they want that to be their truth,but can wanting something to be the truth make it true?For example, if someone is diagnosed with cancer, would it make it untrue if that person decided not to believe they have It?As I said earlier something con only either be true or not!But yes I do believe in the truth and in getting to the bottom of things right down to the truth, it is the only way to make sure that one knows the actual truth.

"The truth is out there"
Yes, it's a catch-phrase, but it happens to be useful.
I do not believe that truth as in objective reality varies from person to person.
(The earth being actually flat for flat-earthers, and round for the rest. God being there for believers and not there for atheists... One *or* the other)
But senses, knowledge and belief only provide an approximation to truth. Very often very good approximations which serve perfectly well when taken to be "true."
In other cases, while truth is "out there", what that truth is is more uncertain.
Much strife has been caused by people not distinguishing between beliefs about the truth, and truth itself.
And, it being possible to be utterly certain and still mistaken,
confidence alone is no assurance of truth.
("I didn't think it was loaded" is probably the simplest demonstation of a sure belief refuted.)

Yes I believe in truth. Even for people who don't believe that Jesus is truth should still believe in the truth. Lies are to easy to get caught up in. Telling the truth is the moral thing to do. Why would you want to lie to someone unless you had something to hide.

I believe in truth -- I believe Jesus told the truth. Jesus never fails.

I believe in the Truths taught by Buddha. Life is suffering. Everyone wants to be happy, but have false ideas about what brings happiness. Those false assumptions about what will make them happy tend to cause more suffering. People thing material wealth, physical pleasure, and power over others will make them happy. They don't and they cause more suffering. Desire leads to suffering. If you don't want anything, and all your needs are met, you do not suffer for lack of something. The lack of suffering brings happiness.

I believe that Jesus is the Truth, because He said so. Anything else falls short of this perfection.

I believe truth is a person, Jesus Christ and He is the only truth.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Truth by its very nature is narrow.

Truth is different for each person, and each person's truth is that which makes them happy and satisfied with life.

No, I trust in what is true due to facts and evidence.
