Truth is simply Relative

If truth be told truth about truth, none speaks the truth. In fact, everyone prefers dressing up the lie and painting it as truth whenever the situation favours our needs. And yet, many of us assertively exaggerate ourselves, to be honest, or opine others to be one.

Like any other expression, truth is esoterically ambiguous and subjective in nature. There is nothing such as absolute truth – a truth that is inflexible and unalterable. Rather it is highly relative in nature and in some cases, it is extremely ‘situational’ – a truth is spoken to fit one situation.

Owing to this relative nature, we are often accustomed in either hearing or speaking a situational truth. We never realize that, in doing so, we trap ourselves in saying yes for no or okay for the things that aren’t because all of us simply don’t want rejection or feel terrible for speaking the fact. So to please others, we end up speaking a fake truth.  

Actually speaking the truth is one honourable personality trait that can typically distinguish us on the kind of values we are stuffed with. But for many odd reasons, we let our tongue give birth to a fake truth from its womb of the kind that can bleed any relationship into pieces. When these foul odours of the lies exited from our mouth are smelt by the surroundings, the trust gets instantaneously strangulated. And once the trust is lost, it is an uphill task to regain the content of similar fertility.  

However, even after realizing this naked fact, our lips are never free from the stains of lies. Some of us still like to stick on glueing several false stories to web into truth while few are already habituated. For those who are in search of shortcuts for their gains, speaking no lies might certainly need serious rehabilitation. So for them, as long as the needs are fulfilled, they even never mind washing their dirty linen in public. The ones who are caught with that rheumatic fever of sycophancy are severely doomed to such fallacies.

And quite miserably, the ears that receive those groans believe in those opinions that contains no traces of facts. When those listeners believe in what others see, that’s the time where hatred is bred and dignity is murdered. In other words, when one accepts those ‘belief statements’ as truth, the equation of truth being relative is largely proven.
