what is truth

             One cannot simply define the meaning of truth because it is so ambiguous. The word "truth" differs greatly from a word like "apple" that has an immediate visual connotation, and is easily and unequivocally defined.

For example, I see the apple as being green but the rest of the world sees it as red. There is no reason to say that my definition of the apple is any less true than the definition according to the rest of the world. There is no way in either views to prove that the other wrong because in essence, perspectively, it is true that the apple is both green and red. We can h
