WHAT IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER?

Look up a dictionary. Oh dear. 

It says it's Conformity to fact or actualityReality

But today we're told there is no 'Reality'. There is nothing 'out there' or, if there is, it's virtual.

Another definition: 'A statement proven to be or accepted as true.' In other words, the truth is what's true. How does that help?

Something else suggests itself. There is no such thing as the truth.

The 'truth' is a word for the position or opinion each of us adopts on a subject and that is contested by others who have a different view.

We're not, then, in some grand search for something eternal. We're only in a permanent struggle to persuade one another in the moment. 

And from there, what emerges are things many of us find we can agree with, given time.
