What is the truth? Is there an overriding truth? Is a truth the same as a fact? Is truth always factual? Is MY truth THE truth?
Just something I was pondering today.

I think truth is like an electron bound to an atomic nuclei; if you "pin it down" and identify it's location, the other information about it is lost. So maybe the closer you are to the truth, the farther you are away from the big picture. Or that absolute truth limits potential/possibility.
I think I'm just talking out my ...well, you know. Or am I?

Interesting thread!
Maybe there is an inner truth, that is unique with each individual, and only that certain individual can ascertain as to whether it is real. What is good for one person may not be good for another-kind of along those lines, if that makes any sense...

I's also put time in that mix Cowboy. A persons truth is unique to them for any given moment. So is truth another word for Identity? Identity being the person and as time passes they change/grow.

Interesting, my truth is directly impacted by my experience and makes me who I am. Since everyone's experience is different, does everyone have a different truth as they have a different identity?
