I Like Philosophy

There are a million truths not just one.. what may be true for one person, may not be true for another.. and what may be true today for one person, may not be true tomorrow for that same person.. so truth is never just black or white..

Facts on the other hand are black and white, right or wrong.. where confusion arises though is when people think that opinion is fact, or where facts are made up/altered/manipulated...

From my journey into philosophy .. I found that truth never appears naked... for it always has a sheath of false over it.. Like how chocolates comes with a wrapper to protect it, truth always has a wrapper of lie over it... for it is lie that gives body or form to the truth ..

Facts are nothing but a photographs or a picture of falsity, which can never reveal the truth inside.

@in10RjFox An interesting perspective and it's cool that I've had some really thought-provoking replies to this threat :) I am not sure I agree entirely as I think there are facts, but that truth can move depending on perspective, circumstances and even time. Some facts do that too, but not all.

@Adaydreambeliever Its not something that we can reach an agreement on quite easily .. Its a deep subject and to gain the same perspective is not easy .. The eternal truth is that "truth is always inside and within" .. like atom is truth for matter, and nucleus is truth for atom .. And fact is what is obvious or outside, but we can keep digging deeper for ever .. but can never reach the ultimate, for that too is made up of something ..

All facts are not truth, but needs investigation. Like all that glitters is not gold, all facts need investigation.

So there are no millions of truth, but millions of perspective or opinions for the same phenomenon. Like 1+1 = 2 is arithmetic, but 1+1 is a bigger ONE in philosophy.

@in10RjFox Agreed that it's hard to reach consensus. That's kinda what philosophy is about, debating, and accepting that there's no one all encompassing truth. I believe facts and truth are often quite different things.

@Adaydreambeliever yup .. it's a never ending journey of explorations.
