Truth

सत्य

What makes something true beyond belief or agreement?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Truth is what is present as reality and can be understood in the same way through complete examination. Opinion may vary with standpoint, while truth includes the actual status, properties, nature and relationship of what exists. Verification, not authority or popularity, is therefore central to knowing truth.

Reflection

Take one belief held strongly and ask what would count as verification rather than confirmation.
