Truth

TRUTH. One word, is it possible to have several meanings? 
Can truth be multifaceted? Can it be molded into the shape we require it to be ?
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the bible tells me so.
Millions and millions of people believe this is the truth
Millions and millions of people believe this is not the truth.
Truthfully, truth depends where you are standing.
When this contest is judged, 
Many will think their poem is better than the winning poem.
Many will side with judge and agree with the decision.
                                  Truth?
What more validation of the belief in truth, than a suicide bomber, defending what he believes is truth and offering his life for it?
                                  Truth
“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense,” said Buddha.

Does Truth depends on where you stand?

World media today, cant all be truth. Contradictions are rife. Do we know if any of it is truth? How is it possible to know? 
Truth has become an individual mindset.  No Expert doctrine can positively give you the answers you seek, because contradictions and alternative proposals always seem to exist. 

There IS A TRUTH to everything. What actually happened, the way and time it happened is the truth, but this truth may have been clouded with misinformation so many times, the truth becomes distorted and eventually buried.  Is truth a phenomena of by gone days?  It cant be captured and  put in a jar for prosperity. Memories fade, truth can be twisted to suit the tellers purposes. Innuendo and embellishments can be added. Perspective of what is seen, heard and witnessed can play a part.
There can only be one complete whole truth. Is truth a dying art?

Richard D Seal Date: 11/4/2023 4:33:00 PM Catch it, probably not. I try to look at the big picture and take in the fragments of information, feel for what rings true and trust my gut. Do you have a take on it? Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 11/4/2023 10:03:00 PM Yup almost exactly the same as yours Richard, except with circumstances that effect me, I try (if possible) to get it from an eye witness. Even that isn't infallible. Unfortunately its the sign of the times. American General Patton once said : If everyone is thinking the same, then someone isn't thinking. Pretty much the same with truth. Best wishes. You're welcome to my page anytime ;)
