There is a difference between subjective truth and objective truth.

"Your own truth" is subjective. "Truth" is objective.


You can "believe" the earth is flat, but that doesn't actually make it flat for everyone else.

It sounds like the difference between facts and perspective. 馃

@bijouxbroussard And truth. There are some things that are demonstrably true for everyone, despite the facts and perspectives, such as gravity. Or death.
@quietlitany Wouldn鈥檛 those be categorized as facts ? 馃槙

@bijouxbroussard A fact can be misleading, misunderstood, misrepresented, etc. Truth is understood through the lens of facts. It is a fact you'll fall. It is a fact you don't fly off into space. Your weight is a fact. Gravity is seen though these facts, as it is objectively true. Subjective truth doesn't do this. Like in the pic, it's only seeing what you want to see.
