Alternative spellingsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Truth can have a variety of meanings, from the state of being the case, being in accord with a particular fact or reality, being in accord with the body of real things, events, actuality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard. In archaic usage it could be fidelity, constancy or sincerity in action, character, and utterance. The term has no single definition yet about which over fifty percent of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories and views of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute. This article introduces the various perspectives and claims, both today and throughout history. The major theories of truthThe question of what is a proper basis for deciding how words, symbols, ideas and beliefs may properly be considered true, whether by a single person or an entire society, is dealt with by the five major substantive theories introduced below. Each theory presents perspectives that are widely shared by published scholars. There also have more recently arisen "deflationary" or "minimalist" theories of truth based on the idea that the application of a term like true to a statement does not assert anything significant about it, for instance, anything about its nature, but that the label truth is a tool of discourse used to express agreement, to emphasize claims, or to form certain types of generalizations.

I am writing a paper on the Truth about Forever, and need ideas on how it changes the perspective on life. Can you help me with any ideas you might have? Asked by Katy Girl - Wed Dec 17 10:27:14 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. First off, be sure to relate it to your own personal life. And what you think of forever. For me though, it made me realize that I won't be in this world for forever. I am not infinite and I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. I found it very easy to relate to Macy, as went through a change over the summer, and could empathize with her situation. She was so fearful of life, of making the wrong decision, of not being good enough for everyone else that she forgot to stop and be happy every so often. Instead, she would put on a charade and make everyone believe she was "fine, just fine." This makes me realize that people will not assume anything of me. If I tell them I am fine, then that is all they will know, and I cannot hope for them to… [cont.] Answered by your_only_hope13 - Thu Dec 18 17:04:01 2008 Fundamentalists: Do you believe your truth is more important then being benevolent and treating others well?
Q. I've noticed that some people walk around stating they have the truth, but they really don't treat people very nice. They push their beliefs up in everybody's face and mistreat people who don't believe as they do. Is this really the behaviour of someone who has the "truth"? Asked by Wadjet Eye - Thu Feb 4 07:50:20 2010 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. Good morning, Kemet Angel. I certainly agree with your observations. In my practice "metta" (loving kindness), "sila" (morality), and "dana" (generosity by helping others) are key components in Buddhism. These are principles we believe would benefit both ourselves spiritually and others materialistically. We can only strive to live up to these standards. May all be at peace.
