Depends What World You Live In.
In The World Of Physics And Mathematis, Yes, Because 2+2=4
But In The Real World, No, Because Everyone Can Have A Different Point Of View.

How do you define TRUTH? A common statement that explains everything? Actually truth is a statement that makes an other statement true. Like an equation: 4 + b = 5. In this case TRUTH (b) = 1, or (-1)×(-1). The truth you are looking for actually depends on your question and it's always changing. Maybe you know what the truth is concerning a topic, but if only one detail changes, the truth may become false. Knowledge is infinite because the variants of the truth are also infinite. Why? Because even if you have only 10 characteristics of a situation, you cannot remain an observer: you can always add an other option that changes everything. Possibility and impossibility depends on the circumstances of the action. For exmaple you cannot fly in Canada, but you can fly in space. The real thruth cannot be reached, because there is no common truth. It changes with the world around us. As human beings, we barely begun to understand the complexity of our world. But actually noone can say, that god is all knowing at any time. Ascending into a higer plane of existence - if it is possible - is merely the beginning of learning more. And one more thing. Every time you say you know the truth, you actually do not know it. You only conclude it, and this conclusion is based on the informations you already posess as well as other conclusions you made before. Truth is a hidden thing for all of us. But general truth does not exist. If it did, It wouldn't be TRUE that we have our own free will in life. What did I say.... It wouldn't be TRUE? .. never mind :-)

The absolute truth does exist. There is just no bus that goes directly there. Those who claim to know absolute truth are deluded, usually by a form of what William James called "bad faith". The good news is that there seems to be a ladder that extends and even seems to be expanding which, as conscious entities it is our privilege to investigate. I think our specious will long be extinct before we discover all the necessary connections that make our universe possible. I am often delighted by my small part and chance to participate. Truth is coherence with the body of knowledge with which our species has been engaged.

yes, it does...why do think all this fighting & struggles for power exist? it's all becuase everyone is trying to establish their truth as The Truth...& also, some for reasons of evil, don't want the truth to win...
that is, everyone has one is truthfor them, but ultimately, there's one truth, & that is love I think but no-one caan change that & it doesn't force itself on anyone.
"Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected."
Mahatma Gandhi

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.
Mahatma Gandhi

It exists...but since the time adam lied about a moderfvcking apple to God, it has become hidden until now. Many have searched it, many can't handle it, but the full universal truth of everything that exists is hidden and is better to stay hidden. For the truth is far greater than we imagined...

"Truth is the recognition of reality; reason, man's only means of knowledge, is his only standard of truth."

[Consider the catch phrase:] "It may be true for you, but it's not true for me." What is the meaning of the concept "truth"? Truth is the recognition of reality. (This is known as the correspondence theory of truth.) The same thing cannot be true and untrue at the same time and in the same respect. That catch phrase, therefore, means:

a. that the Law of Identity is invalid;

b. that there is no objectivity perceivable reality, only some indeterminate flux which is nothing in particular, i.e., that there is no reality (in which case, there can be no such thing as truth);

c. that the two debater perceive two different universes (in which case, no debate is possible).

(The purpose of the catch phrase is the destruction of objectivity.)

I can't start to imagine the replies to this one. This should see all the religious zealots come out to play.

The Truth might exist for everyone, but perhaps the real Truth is personal truth rather than a universal one.

I believe we can only be true to ourselves rather than to some artificial dogma; the world might be a better place if this was the case.

The Truth is my truths and your truths are going to be different. In all situations your viewpoint of will be different because I am different to you. I have my own experience, opinions and beliefs, the same as you. There will be things that we will agree about in principle but there will always be a difference in the details. People tend to group together where there is a fundamental agreement of ideas and conflict happens with those who hold an opposing view.

the problem with the truth is that is usually far too many truthes.
its subjective.

I would say what would be your truth - but before you answer aloud take a few moments to consider it with care. because once your certain you may not change it again, and it will guide your actions, actions that may be difficult to undo if oyu decide that the truth was something else.

For many, the truth doesn't matter. What matters is how we feel. It is not necessary to have a true purpose or meaning to life as long as we can get the right feeling. Empathy, a feeling, takes the place of justice which is a process of finding truth. The phrase, "I feel" is gradually taking the place of "I think".
