I know truth. My version of truth, so what's yours?
People are mostly self-absorbed by the norms of what they believe in and what could save their face. Saying things only to glorify nothing but themselves. After trying to understand the difference of truth and lie. I realized that both are synonymous and could go hand in hand. While lying is supposedly to contradict the truth but then again, people say it to deny the truth that could possibly put them on the edge. So why is truth so special?
When someone tells you something you don't agree on. You tend to create your own truth to contradict what the other person said. It could go on and on just so you can defend yourself. Another example would be you told someone a lie and the lie was the truth to the other person. Confusing. Maybe we just have to get rid of looking closely to every details. The self-absorbed nature of a person only depends on their intention on why they said that but mostly to save their own butt.
There is no absolute truth. You justify your own truth and in the end, it doesn't really matter. Life is less complicated when you just let the words be and don't let it affect you cause it might be the truth or a lie. Who knows? While if you let it affect you, it will drain you eventually.
The truth is painful but it's better to be comforted by it than twisted words that will confuse your head.
