A sad "truth"

Senator
George Orwell said "The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it"

Today in these troubling times, this has become very true. Society isn't just drifting away from truth, it is running from it and the hatred, bitterness, anger toward truth has become palpable.

depends on what the truth is.

Truth to me is...we want so much, but are not willing to pay for it ourselves.

truth is subject to many things. it can be relative, subjective...objectively assessed or seen in absolutes. so, more of a moving target

Truth is constant.
What we perceive as truth is what moves around. Truth may elude us for many reasons but it is constant.

Not really.

take two examples.

What is God? (there are as many interpretations (truths) as there are stars in the sky. and none can verify.

What is the speed of light?
the speed of light =
299 792 458 m / s


depends on what you are talking about.

the truth remains the same..
many things we accept as the truth, is interpreted by humans, and accepted..

the TRUTH remains the truth, irregardless of what the entire global community thinks..
what we "percieve" as the truth at any given time, can and does change..it was not the truth before it was revised..see theory..theorys change, thats why they are not facts..

many truths can never be verified.
thats what faith is..faith that what one believes is true, but can never be confirmed..

does a tree falling in the forest make any sound if no one is there to hear it?
we can record it, listen and see, and accept that it does...

but truth, the absolute truth, remains the same, always..we may never know what that is...

call it semantics, but that does not change the absolute truth...
