“Alternative truths are an oxymoron.” by poet. What do my truths look like? In an ideal world, everyone would recognize them; but we do not live in that world, do we? My truths don't mean I leave no room for imagination; life is more subtle than that. Humans are not machines; truth needs the flexibility to bend without compromising the integrity of its meaning in our lives. Telling a child that there's a Santa Clause isn't true; but there is no malicious in that deception, it is a fabrication, a story. All truths may appear to be absolute, but they're not; truths have varied interpretations based on how they are perceived. Truths are facts that stand alone; without the need to believe or defend them.

I can't imagine life with no Santa Clause, but some folks do, an old folk story St Nick not so far off from the truth. Your truths have a sane and sober ring ! GL in the contest ~Anaya

I like this, Emile. Yes, truth does not need supporting embellishment, whereas lies typically do.
