In Truth, We Lie
Speak the truth and you'll live the adventure of your life. Lie and you'll torment yourself forever. However, is truth the actual reason of life, or is it the reason that one believes in, or rather the reason ones perception has shaped.
Our world is primarily built on truths none of which are absolute. The sad reality is that the idea of an absolute truth can only exist in theory. Not in reality.
The truth is identical with a fact. The proposition is true if it is a fact.
For example, a religious person would believe that the god is true, thus the proposition that "does god exist?" is true. But an atheist would believe that god isn't true. Thus the proposition that "God doesn't exist" is true. The problem is not the question itself, but rather by the way we determine what's true.
The reason being that if the truth is identical with a fact. That true propositions have to be identical with a fact. The existence of false propositions can't exist, or even if the exist, they aren't the truth. What is a falsity? Fact like things that are false. But if truth is just identical to a fact irrespective of it's accuracy, then even false propositions are true.
The catch is that, we are talking about truths that are more complicated in nature. Not surface level ones. An apple is an apple - that is the truth. The car hit the divider - that is the truth. The car hit the divider cause the driver couldn't control the over speeding car - is that the truth? An apple is an apple because it is red in color - is that the truth? How do we know that the labels we give are true to the nature of the object.
A simple thought experiment - a visually abled person and a colorblind person can both identify the color red. But one is colorblind, so is what his perception of red true? Or does he have true vision and the rest of us colorblind? Why do we believe that we have normal vision while the few are colorblind. It is only true that as time progresses, evolution and laws of nature get closer to perfect beings. We believe that just because the mass believe a particular shade to be red, and anyone who can't identify it is as red has color recognition problems? Is that the truth? What the mass sees is what the mass believes?
We believed 500 years ago that the earth is round - a truth. Now you're an idiot if you believe so. How can something be true if it can change its nature of identity over the course of time. An absolute truth should exist throughout time. If I make the "proposition" that the apple wouldn't be recognized as an apple 1000 years from now - is that false? Or can it be true?
This doesn't make sense in the conventional form of clarity, and that's because we are exploring truth with its relation to time, and facts. Facts aren't the truth. The minute you realize this, you start to see the idea of truth as an illusion that covers the gaps of our world.
We still present gaps in our knowledge track as facts. Facts that are true based on our own limitations of scientific pursuit, and facts that will change with the pursuit of time. Facts are understanding, our perception of reality that we can comprehend based on our scientific evidences that we have collected over time. These facts will break the minute an evidence challenges the existing truth. We live in god's world, and yet we challenge his will. We have free will and yet we are controlled by destiny. Truth is like that. It projects one thing wile simultaneously preparing itself to be contradicted.
The mere idea that gravity which we believed to be true for 400 years flipped over its head when Einstein proposed the theory of relativity.
Facts change. The truth changes. Your ideas of reality will change based on experience, and knowledge. Question everything, question everyone because at the end of the day, It takes one thing, one idea, one concept, to change everything you ever believed to be "True"
