'Conformity to fact or actuality,' it says. 'Reality'. But today we're told there is no Reality. There's Nothing 'out there' or, if there is, it's virtual.
Or it's '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 is therefore always 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.
