Truth is ______________.

[ShaRe]

"truth may be vital, but without love it is also unbearable.”
It's said Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio said this when "absolving his Pope".

It's surely vital, I think indispensable even. His caveat though is noteworthy, for without love how could truth ever be bearable...

Philosophers tell us truth is a moral imperative, is that to say love is too?!

I'm interested to know others thoughts on truth...

Actually, I think your title says it all:
Truth is.

Truth is ______________.

This morning I'd rather be in Florida or someplace warm... too cold here.

Hard for me to get too philosophical this early in the day... or maybe ever.

For my mother, "Truth" was what she chose to believe. It was always best to tell her what she wanted to hear.

It seems to me that the truth is hard to find. I always have to do my own research and do not blindly believe what others (even professionals) tell me, write or televise.

The only truth I believe in is 1+1=2, other than math it’s all subjective when it comes to humans!

Yes, I agree with this that truth for some is what they want to hear. what they believe. I remember when truth was to be discovered. For me truth is an absolute. either it is or it is not.

Truth is.... much too easy for some people to bend, manipulate, and twist into their own agenda.

[NorthernLight]

Something to strive toward. Both in being honest, and in understanding.

I had read once "Truth lasts forever, but lies become exposed."

 

[officerripley]

Truth is what has been proven.

 

[MikeyDude]

Truth is what has been proven.

But what about all those people that have been imprisoned falsely? They have supposedly been 'proven' guilty when the 'truth' is that they are innocent.

Ah but that's where it gets complicated, isn't it? They weren't really and truly proven guilty; something was badly wrong with either the defense or the prosecution or the jury or all. Thank goodness for that organization--name escapes me, sorry--that works on getting some of the cases reopened.

I agree.

Truth is ______________.

Sacred.

Also:

A lie left unchallenged becomes the truth.

Exactly, it is singular, perspectives are many...

 

[ShaRe]

For my mother, "Truth" was what she chose to believe. It was always best to tell her what she wanted to hear.

It's not always best today to tell people what they want to hear If it was ever...

 

[ShaRe]

Sacred.

Also:

Passes for truth but a lie is never truth..

 

[ShaRe]

I agree it's currently very difficult to find truth..??!! Its existence though is undeniable...

I believe interpretations & perspectives are relative & subjective but not truth...

 

[multimodAL]

truth and is seem to be mutually exclusive wherever they may lie.
