What is Truth?

One can say, and so very appropriately, that there are only truths, no Truth. The other way of looking the same is that there is a Truth - The Truth - which encompasses all: things, beings, phenomena, nothings, nonexistent, and noumena. It is perfectly absolute in this way. 

This Truth, nonetheless, is fathomless to mean anything. Yet, at another level, there is the Truth of humankind, an imagined pivot of everything which holds and sustains what concerns them and that it does most appropriately. It is this abstraction, which gives meaning to all human phenomena. 

This Truth is our existential touchstone. In that sense, it is absolute though its cognition is relative. It informs all human beings and leads all to decide on truthfulness in their respective milieu. 

At the very practical level, truth is what one gets to know first-hand and chooses to stand with what one knows. 

At a higher level, truthfulness is about being conscious of the possibility of deception in perception and projections as well.
