People's idea of truth can not be validated by life as there is always someone or something that will challange an ideal and there always is the .0000000001 chance a TRUTH could be changed into misinformed or wrong. So there may be truths as most people think but that can never truly be guaged philosophically by people within this world as we will die never having proved or disproved because "time" marches on. Good paradox you have brought to the boards. There is not "TRUTHFUL" answer to your question as anything can be questioned and possibly disproved here or in the future with more info.

very nice response, I enjoyed reading it...
but that's why I say, anything can be questionned, and we may NOT have ANY IDEA WHAT SO EVER what the truth really is, but don't you think that there is an ultimate truth somewhere? That is never to be questionned and such?
(I am not religious, but let's say GOD existed...)
I don't believe in God, you may not believe in God, but let's say GOD DOES exist and is the truth behind it all, then what will our "definition" of truth be? would it not be god? or will you keep on saying that truth is between each of us?
I don't believe in god, but god DOES EXIST (let's say), me saying that god doesn't exist (and I believe it), is that truth? I highly doubt it, because the ABSOLUTE ETERNAL FACT is that god does exist and no matter what anybody says, that is the way it is
this was just an example of course, but I believe it describes pretty well what I meant
