Question: What is better than knowing the truth!?
I find that knowing the truth is best if we are to know anything at all!. I believe this as I understand that all people may never entirely agree on what is true or not true!. However, I would like to entertain the possibility that there is something better than a quest for truth!. Any ideas!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hello:

How about just thinking you know the truth and having the money and power to do whatever you want!.!.!.maybe its not really better than knowing the truth, but I bet you wouldn't know the difference and so it would seem like total good fun!.

I hope this helps

Good afternoon:
The truth is only a relative term, to me, something better than the quest for truth is the quest for happiness!. But if the quest for truth makes you happy, enjoy it!

You'll be surprised that the Truth is not always the best thing to know!. Many people are more interested to hear what they want to know, and not necessarily the Truth!. The Truth sometimes can do more harm than a white lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think the truth is everything!. I think wealth of life comes from conviction in the lies you adopt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Truth!.!.!. There is only one truth!.!.!.And it is that there is only one!.

You are talking about truth, which is a tricky subject; especially because ultimately there can be only one subject that is complete truth!. That could be anything:

For what it is worth!.!.!.

This is what I consider to be true-
God is real
Science is looking for constants of the universe and there are very few which have been identified (gravitational constant is an example)
Family is the single most important thing on this planet (remember God invented this planet so he is above all of it)
Work hard and get what you want - luck is for those who work for it
Your thoughts control your mind
Love everyone and everything for it is all a miracle of existence and creationWww@QuestionHome@Com
