Truth is "Self", Eternal. Have you the courage to find it?

Another wonderful question!!
Truth to be absolute must be eternal.... but such truth that can never change must necessarily dwell in the realms of timelessness which is beyond our comprehension, our very existence being bound by time having a beginning and an end.
Any truth to be external or objective, it must be internally consistent irrespective of who the subject is that is internalizing it. This too seems beyond our reach, because we are all so different that each one is unique..... with such unlimited inconsistency of the subjects, it is next to impossible that any external truth can be established by one and all.
That leads me to conclude that all OUR truths (meaning the truths we can be party to or what we can comprehend) are merely internal truths, believed by one to be true until it could be convincingly proved to be untrue at a later time. In other words, all the truths that we are exposed to, are truths with respect to the subject internalizing it and also the time of such internalization.

Truthfully, I believe it is both. What is truth for you, in your life, according to your own life experiences and knowledge, may or may not be truth to someone else. If there are things you simply feel or believe to be true, for whatever reason, those exist sort of like an internal clock. There are also "truths" that are written, i.e., words of wisdom, great ideals, values that are not something innate, but learned, so those would be external, and again...everyone is different. There are also truths, such as "murder, theft, hate crimes, etc... that are definitely learned. Some would say they are also innante, but that is a matter of opinion.

Truth is unlimited.
Depends on the factors you include as part of your question to receive this truth.
Which color is used by persons who wish to express mourning? The truth is black (no - only part of the world uses black). The truth is white (no - only in India). The truth is orange (no- followers of the Dalai Lama use it for all occasions). So what?
If truth seems to be not that, it is that you are too near to see it. Go a step back and make a new question: What colours are used... And truth is black, white and orange. And even more colours in other traditions.
If truth lets you in doubt, your question is not ok. Ask a blind person if she likes more blue or red - the truth is you can not find the truth.

Truth is what ever you accept.
It is a internal observation of the external.
What ever the internal believes becomes truth.
I think fact/absolute truth is something actual and eternally external.

truth is (as if it really existed the concept of being) eternal it cannot be internal o external because that would emply that it is affected by us or has something to do with us, suposing your are reffering to it as in or out of matter or fisical reality, it also cannot be internal o external because "inside" or "outside" is a human metaphore, there is no "in" or "out" of us, we all exists as a whole and reality is an illusion of our limited five senses, even though it does flow through, inbetween and from us, it doesnt depend on us or anything we do because, if it is a truth, it will keep being truth forever, it does not have time or space, that means it lasts as long as it exists and it measures as long as its existence. even the word eternal is relative because it trys to specify or it deals with a time-space laps which it is also illusionary.

Always eternal, can be internal, never external.

Truth is external. Our minds distort it.

Truth is what it is. Recognizing it is the hard part. Sometimes our way of looking at things does not allow us to see it.
