    Here's something for you to think about :hmm: :

    "There are no truths, only perceptions."

    What about this?

    "Truth is everywhere. It just depends on what you're perceiving."

    The truth points to itself.

    Or is that justice?
    When you are presented with a moral choice (You know, the whole "wallet with reams of dough inside lying on the ground" thing), you immediately come up with a fun choice, and one that you know to be right and true. Justify the fun all you want, but the truth will stick to the back of your mind like peanut butter and make you feel guilty until you have no self-esteem.

    As far as I am concerned. What I know is the truth. It is my perception of what I know. Basically, my knowledge is my truth. If someone can prove my knowledge wrong then i'll adopt that new found knowledge and apply that.

    How about this:

    "Instead, only try to realize the truth."
    "The truth?"
    "There is no beer."

    noo sniper, what you think is the truth is the perception of your knowledge :) knowing and thinking/assuming is big difference.

    The truth can change in various ways ;)

    [​IMG] hm, since you're talking about truth I have a little question for you guys:
    If someone says " I'm lying right now" Is that person telling the truth or does he lie as he say he does.

    That person gets shot dead where they stand.

    errr.

    At least, that's what happens on UT. And someone always mops up with a rocket laucher, as soon as one can be found.

    That's an interesting statement....Referring back to mine, I wonder what the response would be if you asked that to a logic teacher (or logical thinker, etc.) :hmm:

    EJ:

    Sanity is measured by Normaility
    Normality is defined by the sane
    The Majority is considered sane
    Does this make minorities insane?

    ^ doesn't fit the topic i know but well :heh: and i wrote it in history instead of doing an essay so :heh:

    How about this:

    There are truths. They are above your perceptions. That's what makes them the truth.

    The truth is rarely good. :(

    And when it is, it isn't good for somebody else.

    [​IMG] Truth is a rare thing that isn't false. Most things are false in different lights and angles, finding something that look the same however you look at it - that's the truth

    [​IMG] The truth is like an elephant, and your perceptions are like the six blind men of India -- each right within its own frame, but failing so miserably at appreciating the whole.
