"What is truth?"

A Googled Research Experiment

I wonder what truth is. My truth is different from your truth. It's my subjective perspective on the world and my place in it.

Recently the truth has been in my thoughts because everyone is judged on their truth and I think that's why so many people hide their personal truths. 

The only rule to this experiment is the search is "What is truth?"

Google's Result

Result one is the dictionary definition of truth provided by google. Truth is derived from the definition of "true". True is a Boolean result, real, fact, exact, legitimate, genuine, loyal, faithful. The definition of true is practically a thesaurus entry.

The problem is that true changes from moment to moment. It flexes, fades and fails depending on past, present and future situations. My truth today will not be my truth forever. My truth now is not my truth this morning. It's how I feel about the world. I don't like the idea of being bound to my present understanding of reality. I want to be able to grow and expand my reality.

Search Result 1

Result two is an article by one Matt Slick, a minister. It's also the start of a pattern in the results. "What is truth?" is a quote from the bible so 4 out the top 5 results is related to the bible and not my truth.

Search Result 3

Philosophy news is a little more my speed. The fact that it's my speed makes my point. I'm not looking for the biblical truth. I'm looking to understand truth. The first concession of the article is that Truth is hard to define. 

Conclusion?

In looking for the truth with an open mind, I already had a personal bias. I wanted to see a truth I wanted to see. Truth is biased, imaginary, impossible, indefinable without context. 

I think it's necessary to face the truth or never change it. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe I'll be wrong. Maybe everyone's wrong. Maybe I'm overthinking this. I have a habit of that.
