Truth and unconditional truth

Truth may be independent, when a proclamation may be false if everyone believes it to be true, or vice versa. When a statement is either accurate for everyone or no one, then the truth is public.  Truth may also be eternal, when a statement is either always true or always false.  What was true in the past, is true today, and will be true tomorrow. Oscar Wilde once said, “The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple”.

 All of us are unsure whether there is such thing as truth? Each religion has its own claims to truth. Christian's argue the truth is that God is real, and that Jesus is the Son of God, who came to Earth in human form to save the human being from their sins. Members of Islam state there is one God, who is Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger. Sikhs claim that God is inside every person, no matter how immoral they appear, and as a result everyone is capable of transformation.  Buddhists do not believe in God, and Jews believe they were the chosen ones by the God.

Various cultures have their personal diverse truths. A truth is something that can be accepted universally. Is there only one truth? Personally I believe that, truth is not established by how many people agree on something, whether those people all belong to a distinct culture, or to the entire world. Nonetheless, one explanation of truth states that truth is the statement proven to be or accepted as true. If something is completely true, it does not matter if nobody acknowledges it because it won’t change no matter what occurs. There is a distinction among recognizing something and believing in it. However, sometimes belief is accepted as the truth.

Human beings on a regular basis accept things because they have been told so, or because they don’t have adequate information and evidence to find an enhanced answer. Many people will just except any answer just because it makes them feel fantastic and significant. If different cultures have dissimilar truths on the same issue, than there is no truth. Just because some people believe that God created the world in seven days, it does not make this declaration truthful. It is what we accept as true, however that does not necessarily makes it accurate.

 In contrast, scientists say that the world was created through a 'Big Bang’ that created the universe.  This is what they consider accurate, but it does not mean that in fact it is. If nothing can be decided upon, and there are contradictory opinions on the same matter, than there is no truth. Then in this situation the statement, that truth is something that everyone agrees with is more valid. Everyone can agree on some things, and would consider them truthful. For example, the statement that the world is round is true. However, because everyone agrees with something, it just means that they don’t have enough evidence to contradict it. For instance, for hundreds of years everyone agreed that the world was flat although it never was.  Whether a proclamation is considered to be true also depends on what area of knowledge we are looking at. For Areas of Knowledge that are based mostly on Ways of Knowing such as language, perception and emotion, it can be much trickier to come to a reasonable conclusion. But no matter what, we know for sure that truth cannot be modified or altered in any way.

When there are two different truths, they both contradict each other. Nevertheless, agreeing with either of them is incorrect. Even if no one knows the absolute truth, it still does not change no matter who acknowledges it. The truth is some place out there, and it is our job to stumble upon it. It is interesting to find out what inspires people to lie? Nowadays, the society is full of lies and people that tell them. Human beings tend to lie in order to improve their living circumstances, or to save themselves or some one they care about from the unpleasant dilemma. This makes even tougher for us to determine what truth is.

If someone would proclaim that he or she has never told a lie, and would ask the public to determine whether it is true or not, it would be extremely difficult to do so. For instance, if the statement made by the individual is factual, it means that he or she is not a liar and is telling the truth. However, if the proclamation made is bogus, it indicates that the individual is a liar, and has lied when said that he or she has never lied. Nevertheless, when a liar tells the truth, then this truth becomes a lie, or does it? This is an absurd problem because every time you try to find out what is the real truth you end up contradicting yourself. Albert Einstein once said, “The search for truth is more precious than its possession”, meaning that there is no exact way to find out the truth, however it does exist.

Truth is absolute because if it was not, why did the whole world call it “truth”? Occasionally, truth is not interpreted in the right way, it can be twisted and changed by everyone, and this is why the world today encounters many awful dilemmas. The truth is hidden and may never be established because various sources become untrustworthy. John Lukacs once said, “For it is in the long run that, somehow, truth may survive – through the decay of untruth.” I have the same opinion, for the reason that no matter what people say or believe, there is only one truth, and sooner or later some one might discover it.

In mathematics, truth is the result and it is at all times precise, truthful and straightforward. Most of the time nobody can interpret it in a different way, and this proves that truth might be absolute. In science, truth would be the laws and theories formulated by the scientists. Unfortunately, conflicts exist because both sides cannot agree on something definite because they think in particular ways. The world came across many transformations, nonetheless, truth was one thing that did not change, may be distorted but its uniqueness will never be altered at all. People interpret things differently including facts, and they also structure their own evidence to demonstrate their point to be right no matter what. Today there are many horrifying crises in the world just because truth is hidden. In the past, there had been many disagreements about truth and they will still continue to exist.  

Some people believe that truth is universal, and others assume that everyone has his own truth. Everybody has different experiences, so you might even say that each individual has his or hers own truth, so what's true is just a matter of judgment. Each of us has special personal views on what the truth might be, and it is only up to us to make up our mind what we regard as being true or false. If my truth differs from the truth of another individual, that can only be because either one or both of us is unaware of the truth, and has called something true which is not. Facts, ideas, beliefs may be true or false, however truth provides this vital standards by which we judge various unique issues.
