Truth (Cpmposition one)

What I want to define is not the truth of an event, a thing or some specific phenomena in the society. It is a subjective topic, and with different backgrounds, genders, professions, or even ages, the idea of truth changes. What I try to define is the truth of life to figure out what truth is and finding the truth of life.
There are many ways to give definitions to different aspects of truth. Philosophers explain this word in very practical ways. In correspondence theory, it emphasizes on the connection between true beliefs, true statement and the actual affairs. The relationship between thoughts or statements and things or objects is the main idea of this theory. This is the traditional model of truth which can date back to ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. There is also an aphorism advocating this theory written by a thirteenth-century philosopher Thomas Aquinas,’’ Truth is the equation of thing and intellect.’’ This is the explanation of ancient people at that time. It may be suitable for explaining what truth is but it’s not proper to define what truth is in life. Life is not an event, a thing or merely an object. The truth of life is the fountain of peace and tranquility and of course there is no equation that can solve the problem between life and truth.
The word ’’truth’’ in Middle English not only means a fact, a belief or an idea held to be true. It attaches to the moral aspect rather than the practical aspect.“Troth- that is, faith pledged by one’s word and owed to a lord, a spouse, or anyone who puts someone else under obligation.” This is the definition of truth in Middle English, the loyalty to someone whom the people cared about and loved. However, without this truth, one might be seen as a traitor, and dishonor himself or herself and also disgrace his or her own family. At that time this is the most important characteristic of truth in their lives because the honor to the country, to themselves and to their family is the priority and it is even more important than their lives. However, the background, the generation and the cultural effects are all different now. Nowadays, people care more about themselves than before and the centers of our lives are more to us than to the country or the loyalty to someone, so the definition of truth is no longer the same.
There is no equation to solve the problem between truth and life because it is not a proposition. The truth of life is no longer the obligation to someone like middle age. It’s more about our own life and more about us. During the discussion about this topic with my friend, we both reached the agreement that truth is the eternity of our lives and deeply believe that it will never change. Time changes, people change but truth will stand still. Furthermore, the truth in our mind will never get affected by anything. Where the truth is, the heart is also there. Nevertheless, the truth in everyone’s life is different. It depends on the backgrounds, the cultural experiences, the genders or the ages. But one thing is for sure; once people find their own truth, it will last forever. We have to find the truth in our lives so that we can get peaceful hearts and eternal tranquility in our lives.
The definition of truth is the eternity of the unchangeable quality and the unbreakable stability in people’s mind. There is no specific answer to the question what the truth is, but there is a specific definition of it. However, despite of all the different answers given by different people, the basic elements of the truth are the same.

(This is the discussion between one of my Australian friends and I. During the process, he conveys something that he wanted me to know, to find the truth in my life. To find something that is eternal and lasting forever. This eternal happiness can not be found by any other person. It is already in people’s mind and they just have to find it. To find the truth, we have to explore it and it is more about experiences than listening. Knowing is knowledge. Action and experience are wisdom. Happiness is just a state of mind. It can not last forever. It can only last for a moment.)
