Truth Never Dies.
Yup. It's a redundant statement, but I felt that it really needed to be reiterated. Growing up, I've heard many "truths" which if it were true would not be contradictory -yet they were. I've concluded then that were it true, it would hold true then now and later. So are there really many truths or one truth? The conclusion I've experienced with that is that there is ONE Truth and many voices -we have as yet to see the big picture. Truth is holistic and not contradictory to itself. The "truths" I've encountered in growing up had everything to do with society and culture and nothing to do with REAL TRUTH. When we split up the truth the truth becomes muddy and contradictory (*hence why some would argue that the Bible contradicts itself. I argue it doesn't). The truth is not negative -we are so fixated on what something is not that we cannot define what it IS. Truth is living -not something to die for: as Oscar Wilde aptly put it, dying for something doesn't necessarily make it true (*paraphrased) -it just makes you dead.

Oscar Wilde was a smart man. I tend to agree that there is one absolute Truth, above all of our human perceptions of Truth. And maybe that is how it's supposed to be in the end. Because there is no way that we can separate ourselves from the absolute Truth to understand the Truth.

Being a finite science is different being the truth. In a jury trial, for example ,there may be several stories from witnesses but this can be the result of perception or falsehoods but the truth is things happened one way . There is only one truth . A lot like God . There can be only ONE! The truth exists whether it is shared or revealed to all is another question.Who killed J.F.K. Somebody knows or knew.

there's only 1 ABSOLUTE truth - mathamatics!! if u have 1 and get another 1, you have 2 (period)
other than that, what you accept as true doesnt necessarily have to be true for me. i think that the attention given to the questionability of someones truth draws away from the energy well given to respect.
i say this with the utmost respect of ur opinion - just toss'n my 2cent.
