My initial instinct is to define truth as factual information free from gray areas, exceptions, or uncertainties. In certain cases, this perspective holds true; for instance, someone is either a student or they are not. However, sometimes, I must remind myself that we must consider perception. For most people, the sky appears blue, while for those who are colorblind, it may look like a different shade. What may be true for one person might not hold the same validity for another. Therefore, it is important to step back and consider things from someone else’s perspective—much like the saying, “walk a mile in their shoes”—and then determine what can be accepted as truth.
Explain how you discern Truth in your life.
Truth is based on facts that a person believes are accurate. We form theories from our beliefs, which lead us to accept certain things as truth. However, the inclination to take facts at face value should sometimes be examined, as truth may not always be what it seems. It is essential to differentiate between what is fact and what is merely opinion or hearsay. This is where discernment becomes important, and we must evaluate further to seek the true nature of reality.
