Et to veritus- what is truth; thus asked Pilate to his wife on the Eve of the all so famous crucifixion. Indeed, what is truth? I, for one, know for a fact that there are many truths. What I mean is that- truth is relative. For the beggar, penury is his truth. For the rich man plenty is his fact. And, so on and so forth. What thinkers, philosophers, poets, prophets have propounded are various versions and facets of truth as they saw it. Followers, there have been, disciples they have been and there still are. So the truth, but, of the matter is, the world is divided- for what the truth is! Why is the truth so elusive, why does it shy away from the seeker? Well, just as an aside, we often see that if one states a truism, the other is wont to believe it. However, when someone lies, there are many who are gullible enough. Another fact is that many do not want to hear the truth, if it is ever to be told. Another truth is that, many want to live a lie. And, also many are liars. I believe every individual has a nugget of the truth, and, the world would be a better place if all of us pooled into a common pool. Dialogue is therefore necessary. Intermingling is necessary; a coming together is necessary. For the ultimate truth of the matter is that we do not know the truth(as yet) and we need the truth to set us free!.
