Reality is something you believe to be true. So what is truth?

Truth is relative.

What exactly is truth realtive to? The individual? How can one be sure of truth if one cannot even be sure that what one sees is real? If we cannot percieve something, is it real? What if nothing is as it appears? Does that make reality false? Would it then be a illusion? Are we as humans even able to perceive truth?

Quantum theory states that the actual act of observation determines the outcome.

Truth is the one lie that is simplest to prove.

Reality is something that happened. Truth is the interpretation of reality. When telling the truth, it is relaying their interpretation, the best they can. Lying is purposely distorting the truth for an alternative benefit.

absolute truth is a term referring to what actually is. what we percieve to be true or real (the words are synonyms) is an interpretation of absolute truth. during the process of interpretation, absolute truth is distorted. thus, truth and reality are illusions of human perception.

i am stupid.

are you sure you're not just a figment of another's reality? or a thought of a god or screenwriter?

The only truth there is in life, is the certainty of death...we will all die; it's the only thing that a living creature MUST do. We do not have to eat, breathe, get jobs or reproduce. But we have to die.
Everything else is flexible.

Life is to be measured by action, not by time...the largest space of time is to live until a man is wise. He that dies of old age does no more than go to bed when he is weary...it is the work of fate to make us live long, but it is the business of virtue to make a short life sufficient.
-Seneca
