Truth?

What is �truth�?

I do not speak of Lord Sartan's Truth here, or indeed, any other sort of
Divine Truth . . . I but speak of simple, mortal truths.

Are they even truths at all, or simply . . . opinions?

Surely, these �truths� are in the eyes of the beholder . . .

One side of an argument will always blind themselves to some of the
viable points proposed by the other . . . no, I am wrong here . . .

For both sides of the argument will always blind themselves to the
other.

The only �being� any mortal knows exists for certain, is themselves . .
. so to them, only one �truth� can be justified and correct.

Even if these individuals are presented with cold, hard, un-deniable
facts, their faith could be of such a calibre that they will still denie
the inevitable.

So then tell me, what is �truth� when the individual seeking the �truth�
has already decided apon its firmly defined realties before he or she
has even started apon their investigations?

Is this a truth then . . . or just another opinion?
