I had an interesting conversation with some one the other day and it got me thinking about what people's opinions are about the truth.
It seems there are various opinions about truth and whether it can change according to situations and points of view.
But this is what I know...
Truth is absolute. If it is not absolute then how can we trust that anything is real in our lives?
If truth was not an absolute we would question everything we do, see and experience.
If truth is relative, then it cannot logically be true. If something is only half true then how can we believe that it is really true?
For example, in the courts we are told to "...tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth etc." They do not tell us to tell 30% of the truth, or 90% of the truth.
Truth is not relative, it cannot change no matter what the situation is.
Perceptions are relative, they can change according to situations etcetera, but truth is not relative. Truth stays the same.
If you don't believe me, read these 2 websites, they make some very good points! They can explain it a whole lot better than me.
