Dr. I’m running out of names “Do you believe that the truth will set you free?”
Iam “I don’t like the question. And I don’t like it because it’s a loaded question. There’s this implicit assumption that I’m subjugated and then we get into this semantic realm where we’re trying to figure out what we’re being freed from and it’s just not all that interesting. ‘Well, through truth we’re freed from our ignorance’ and that’s just a banal answer that doesn’t really answer the question in spite of the fact that it answers the question. Beyond that you could say that ‘Well, we are all subjugated by those who lie with impunity and only the truth can free us from the illusory world they’ve created’ and that’s not very entertaining either. Better question (or more interesting as least) would be ‘What happens if you tell the truth about me?’ Do you lie to keep the devil in his cage? Even though God told you not to? Do you eat the forbidden fruit? He did tell you not to do it but he knows damn well your going to do it. You tell the truth I’m out of the cage. ‘What does he do when he’s out of the cage? What will he say? People should ignore and mock him but what happens if they don’t? I didn’t. I listen and did what he said. What does that say about me?’ Now that’s far more interesting. I had another one but I can’t quite remember...”

Truth in the subjective sense is the agreement between concept and object. Truth in the objective sense is a real thing that implies the consistency of objects and things within themselves. This implies that the reality of objects and things is consistent with their concepts.

The truth is simply what we want to believe. We can look at textbooks, we can look at anything. But writing is simply not enough. We need proof.
For it to be a full truth, we need to see it with our eyes. We need to find it out ourselves. But even then, we could be wrong.
We could do it wrong. Maybe our measurements and math weren’t correct.
Another point, maybe everybody could be lying to us. And we had never suspected a thing.
Maybe red is blue, and blue is red. As in they had different names.
Our whole life could be filled with lies, and we would never suspect a thing.

Me: Define truth.
Friend: The truth is the beauty of the world and what is actually happening or that happened
Me: That's her definition of truth. What she thinks it is, or knows. We all know something, but maybe they're just lies.
But then again, there's still so much we don't know right know, and will never know.
