What is truth?

To view anything, humans must take a perspective. For example, if I sit across from you in a restaurant, your perspective will show the busy kitchen, my face, the patrons behind me. My perspective will show the calm water view, a few seagulls and a pelican, and your face.

Everything we perceive is from a perspective. That perspective is not just made up of what we see, its also made up of how our brains work, our DNA, our past, our stories, how our day is going... and so on.

So then you can consider, who can see from every perspective, all at once? And the answer may be, either nobody, or, if one exists, then god.

And if that is the case, whose perspective is a fact? Who can see the entire situation, from all perspectives (and therefore no particular perspective)?

It would stand to reason then, that the only one who could really know what a 'fact' is, is god, if god exists.

The oxford definition of a fact, talks about 'something that can be proven to be true'. How many things were 'proven to be true' to then be proven to be untrue by a different, often later, often more advanced perspective?

So if the only one who can truely know a 'fact' is god, then what does this mean about the 'facts' you've been telling yourself, about yourself, about the world, about whatever situation you are stuck in?

A better way to look at it, could be, what are the 'assumptions' that exist in this situation, and how can we continue to test these assumptions, to ensure we don't get trapped in a box of 'facts' which may not actually exist.
