True, each has its own, and its own life, and its own problems. Most people try to be good employees, parents, spouses, friends, and ultimately good people. But it is not so simple. Everyone wants to live the way they want and how, in their opinion, this needs to be done correctly. “Everyone has their own truth, but the truth is one” - what can this expression mean?
Everyone has their own truth
The land is currently swallowed by religious disputes, geographic divisions, unrest, and so on. Compassion and understanding is what is sometimes so lacking. It is so easy to be absorbed in one’s own point of view and belief in one’s right that it can lead to a complete misunderstanding of one’s neighbor. Everyone sees this world through their own unique lens, and another life will look at least strange. Everyone has their own truth. And do not forget about it.
Each person has his own unique set of views. The beliefs of one person may differ from the beliefs of another, but this does not make them less justified. Everyone has their own world and certain truths. You may not understand someone’s actions, but this is understandable, just someone sees the world from a completely different point of view. One sees black, the other white. The truth can be distorted if you look at it from different angles.
How to understand someone else's reality?
If a person cannot truly understand someone else’s reality, then what right does he have to be so self-righteous as to judge someone else’s situation? It just doesn't work. Each has its own truth, its own truths. People are full of features of a very different nature, including genetics, mood, prejudices, cultural teachings and thoughts that affect morality and logic.
What makes sense for one will not make any difference to the other. And this is normal. You can’t hate a person because he’s just not like you. Spiritually and intellectually, this happens every day. People respond to basic emotions and may not like other people who, for example, upset them. Maybe they hurt others because they hate them? Everyone has their own truth.
Different levels of truth
Of course, the so-called subjective truth is present in the minds of people. There is an objective reality - the physical world, which exists independently of the observer. There are facts in the physical world that are independent of our faith. In the same way, there is a certain spiritual reality. There is truth and divinity. Everyone has their own truth. And the truth is one, and it is absolute. And there is what is called “spiritual things,” with which sane people may well agree.
Very often people say that everyone has their own truth ... They are both right and fundamentally wrong at the same time, saying so. The truth is always one, and it is important that a person can try to see all kinds of facets of this truth. And the more, the better. This must be done before the premature conclusions, and even more so before the conviction of anyone.
Unfortunately, most people are not able to understand this, and even if they understand, they simply are not able to consider these other facets, since they cannot cope with their grievances and emotions.
Different people - different truths
Each one has his own truth, his own life, his own plans: an official, a policeman, an employee, a teacher, as well as a child and an adult, a man and a woman. Where do these differences come from?
Much depends on desires, preferences and interests, most of which are opposed to each other.
For example, an official wants peace and money, and an employee wants social justice. The police officer wants to catch, and the thief - not to get caught. The kid wants to play, and the adult is tired after work and wants to sleep. The basis for this truth is personal interest. And here there is an elementary substitution of concepts.
"Truth is like a lion. You do not need to protect it. Free it. It will defend itself."
The above quote is attributed to St. Augustine. Many disagree with him, because they believe that the lion from this metaphor is vulnerable, and we need to fight to protect it. Ethical truths are very subjective and therefore controversial. Life cannot be taken - this is the truth. But how then to treat honor killings? Those who commit them behave incorrectly in accordance with ethical truth, but they are right in their own way, since for them bringing dishonor to the family is a more serious crime than murder.
Many ethical differences exist around abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty. If ethical truths could protect themselves, would they not convince us of all their virtues? If you look from this point of view, then the defenders of their truth should defend their opinion. These activists are not only able to convince of their innocence, but also to influence a large number of like-minded people.
Probably St. Augustine had in mind the biblical truth that he believed in - that the truth of his god would triumph without his protection. It is clear that this has not happened in the history of mankind, given the wide range of beliefs and shortcomings that people of our planet possess. The truth of St. Augustine is ethical and logical, and maybe it can protect itself, but there will still be those who do not agree with this.
Every joke has a grain of truth (truth)
This expression is quite common, many have heard it more than once. But there is a similar expression that sounds like: "Every joke has a fraction of a joke." What could that mean?
Despite the fact that the second option is a remake, already both phrases are considered quite battered. It is likely that the meaning of the expression is that any joke is an embellished or veiled truth. Although sometimes it’s not worthwhile to look for a secret meaning in simple things, sometimes a banana is just a banana.
