Deep dives

Understanding Truth in a World of Lies

The concept of truth is a central theme, emphasizing the distinction between absolute truth and personal perspective. It is stated that truth is constant and universally applicable, but many confuse it with subjective viewpoints that are unique to individuals. This blurring of lines can lead to the dangerous belief that one's personal truth can dictate reality, which may not align with absolute truth. An example given is the historical belief that the Earth was flat, illustrating that unwavering belief does not make something true if it strays from factual reality.
