I want to know, I figure someone out there has to have figured it out, maybe that someone is a member of Fakku. or perhaps a general consensus can be reached

Thruth is very simple. Truth is how an individual percives reality and d world around him. Truth can differ from person to person due to a persons ability to reject that Which is "truth" to everyone else. War, religion, and crime all spawn from a persons perception of his/her "truths"

Does that help? And just in case u wer wondering yes I did come up with that myself

what's with this philosophy talk..

anyway, wiki seems to have figured it out

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth

@above
if it differs from people to people, then it's simply not the truth, it's their own subjective interpretation .. a truth is one true thing which is regardless of thoughts, beliefs, and stuffs..

Truth is a thing which appears to those who have observed, considered, and made a choice. At the end of the path you chose lies the truth... Believe in it, and continue without faltering.

Well, I suppose one of the biggest initial questions when confronting this question is whether truth is subjective or absolute.

Are u sure about that because what may be right for u may he wrong for others. What u believe may not be what is d actualy reality (reality being the collection of accepeted "truths) like for example there are ppl in d world who belive that the Holocaust never happened by doing this they are rejecting the truth that has been accepted by d world and substuting their own

yes, but denying that the holocaust ever happened doesn't make it true

Exactly, but to those ppl that is the truth to them. Like I said truth is what u consider to be reality and Lie is what isn't accepted as "reality" . All these ppl are doing is rejecting the "accepted" "reality" and replacing it with their own. To those ppl the holocaust never did happen and that is their truth. C what I mean

if you wanted to be philosophical, then you would have had to been a bit more specific than that for me to give you a full explanation, for your question is a bit on the vague side.

Posting just to increase my post count, since discussing this is pointless. Truth is subjective, this is the only thing that could be chalked up as 'truth'. Today's truth might be lies tomorrow and tomorrow's lies might be truth again further down the road. /end topic

As the people above have mentioned, the truth is relative ; crafted by human hands.
The law in society is defined by the general perception of what is right and wrong, and hence, the truth in society is also a general perception. There is no real truth, nor is there a false truth.

However, that only applies to what humans interact with. The laws of nature which hold definite laws are defined by a number of unalterable facts which we refer to as the truth.

truth is.....something you can search for, but never find.

at least, all truth other than logical truth i deem impossible to find.

Truth to me for now is if it exists in all aspects.

Example if it's physically real yet you do not regard it exists in you mind. It's just real.

It's still experimental to me.


I'll use one of my basis in shallow example, is Ryu and Akuma relation, Ryu indeed uses his real power but with the hidden evil power inside him, if he'd use the absent potential, make exist of all his power. That what's related for Akuma's line, show me your true power (-_-).

He got another power that makes him fire all on SFA3, his memories of sweet talk from friends and opponents, let him get a power that beats the evil one.


Then, what's the true? Are they multiple?

What if I only get my muscles because of training, part true on existence and part artificial in attainment, is training is just as artificial as steroids? Or is it true at all using natural method. I'll think about it later, there's someone pissing me, I can't think straight, I'll just check out Rohan Online for now

Sorry, my actual thoughts would have been repeating numerous people, and it was just too relevant. :P

Oh, I'll also give opinion about truth as perception of right and wrong, I'm talking existence on my other post. I only read the first page of the forum when I made the first one.

I was distracted at this time.

The basic of right and wrong to me for now is first your senses and mind as nature goes.

Nature, as right and wrong which is instinct, are both good and bad. They are both beneficial which I think the basis of good in nature be it to rape like the shitties on hentai or heroes from martial arts anime.

There's nurture and perversion, can differentiate the two kinds of good in nature.
Nurture and Perverse which I can't explain how I though about it.

Powerful things like sexuality(though I suppose only in Catholics), war power(Only on evangelicals) and free thinking(do not go beyond what is written) is wrong to Christianity(while in Judaism is tarnished, I don't know about free thinking though) while in individual minds, they're probably neutral

Nurture can be evil too, what if I assist a rapist, or what if I donate money to someone who cheats me? I just don't know if I root for hentai artists

I think hentai watchers weren't perverse if they like sexy part not the perverse.
