[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1617957, member: 7539"] Well in that case lol... Another aspect of truth has to do with a person's own understanding and if they believe what they are saying is true. In other words, there is vast difference in someone stating something they think is true and they are just ignorant to the fact vs. someone intentionally lying. The key all revolves around the paradox of 'he who knows'. If you are aware that you know the truth and you speak it, then you are fully immersed in the truth. If you are aware that you know the truth and you lie anyway, then you are a deciever. If you are not aware of the truth, then whatever you say may not be the truth, however it IS your truth... the problem is that you're also a fool. A good example of this might be "We hold these truths to be self evident". The founders certainly were men who knew that they knew the truth and their words reflect it. [/QUOTE]
