Nobody actually knows what the truth is. Truth is relative to each person and the opinions that they have, making each person’s truth individual and unique.

Every truth is different because truth contains people’s opinions and what they think about each situation. The things that are happening in the world affect everything that humans think about at all times, causing their opinions and eventually truths to be swayed. Something may happen in the world and a person can think a certain thing and ultimately tell others what they believe. However, there are some circumstances where everybody will have the same truth, such as if someone leaves the room; that is the truth and people cannot have an opinion because that is something that everybody saw. If people see something happen everybody knows that is the truth and it is unable to be changed. The two ways people can make their truth affects the people around them and eventually the absolute truth.

When trying to find out the real truth, always searching, asking, and not taking the first answer that arises is very important. It is important to question people because they may be giving their opinions, and by asking questions they may be able to take some of the opinion out and give a more cohesive truth. People’s experiences and opinions block the real truth and make it harder to find. Being able to see through other people’s opinions and making one that is different and unique is a necessity when trying to figure out the truth. Finding out the real truth does take work and we need to work to get it, yet there is an absolute truth which nobody can attain because nobody knows it. The truth is something that we strive to understand, and it is always just out of our reach.
