Truth Be Told // What is Truth?

What is truth? It’s a question that’s as old as time. And it’s a question that’s as important as life itself. We ask this question because we want to know what is true and what is false. But even more importantly we ask this question because we want to know if truth really exists and if so, how we can come to know the truth. We live in a world where absolute truth is viewed with suspicion. We prefer phrases like this is “my truth” or “your truth” to the idea that something is universally true for all people. We are prone to look inward to our feeling and desires to discover what is true rather than looking outward to some source of truth outside of ourselves. We tend to think the truth can be changed to fit our preferences rather than recognizing truth that my preferences must conform too. In short, we live in a time where we seek to make truth what we want it to be rather than seeking to know what is really true.
