The basics of truth are that it is absolute and non-negotiable. Only one thing ever actually happened… since the beginning of time! And this absolute, non-negotiable truth exists in everything - no matter what some may want to think - there is no denying it.
Here’s the proof for the above statement:
How did you start your day… did you roll out of the left or right side of bed? Did you go to the bathroom or put on your clothes first? Did you put on your pants or socks first and which sock was first? Did you shave?… with an electric or conventional razor?… which cheek did you start with?… or was it the chin or maybe the mustache? Did you eat breakfast and/or brush your teeth?
The overall details are relatively insignificant compared to the understanding that only one thing happened. No matter what we remember or think we remember, the fact remains that only one thing actually happened… and nothing can change what actually happened.
This same truth carries over into all aspects of the world. For example, every color is seen buy a computer as a unique combination of red, green and blue; it doesn’t matter if we call it yellow, amarillo, canary, or whatever… it doesn’t change the color. Likewise, even though individual thresholds for pain are different, that doesn’t change the fact that fire is hot.
So, the greatest problem within society is that people try to create their own truth when in all actuality they are creating a special little lie only to benefit themselves for one reason or another.
Imagine a scenario where a wife asks a husband if he washed his coffee mug when in reality he just rinsed it and turned it upside down in the rack. What would most husbands say?… and how adamant would they be on this matter? Both parties generally know what is meant within their communications, but sometimes one may use a partial truth (which is really a lie because the intent is to deceive).
From here we can get into the basic proofs which are built on the foundation of truth.
When a man, who is honestly mistaken, is confronted with the truth, he has two choices; either he ceases to be honest or he ceases to be mistaken.
