Truth

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth”. Truth can be misinterpreted by people’s opinions and beliefs. “There is no such thing as a true story. Only versions of the truth”. I strongly believe in this statement as there are many forms of the truth that can be alternated by people’s judgment and knowledge. This is evident through the biography film of Malcolm X, an American-Muslim leader and a human rights activist who had an impact on the…

I chose for this essay is “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything,” by Mark Twain. I chose this quote because almost everyone can relate, or felt what it’s like, to lie to your parents or relatives. We’ve all lied, and found that it is hard to lie than to tell the truth. When you lie, you have to remember what you said, you can get questions thrown at you left and right, and it’s just not worth lying to someone. When you tell the truth, people will take your word for it, and…

The Truth on Lying Everyone in this nation is a liar, which means you are a liar too. According to i09, Americans lie at least once a day, and believe they get away with it most of the time. Unfortunately, BBC claimed in Ethical Guide: Lying, that “ Lying is probably one of the most common wrong acts that we carry out”, which means lying should not be committed, because there is nothing good coming out of it. But what exactly is lying? Lying is to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive…

whether the intent is there or not. Deception is the intent to mislead when the truth is known, whereas lying attempts to avoid the harm of what the truth may inflict upon themselves. Sissela Bok’s “On Truth-Telling” is a prime reading that showcases greed for power that happens in modern-day life. Through this selection, Bok outlines scenarios where deception is practiced for gain or lying is used to spare the pain the truth will cause to themselves. The greed these liars possess require them…

terms of lying for example, lies to protect others, lies in the interest of that liar, and lies to cause harm. Even Americans conflict about lying that means they're confused about lying or not.

I believe lying is never allowable…

Truth is developed everywhere. Truth shows right from wrong and has no bias. Not only does truth constantly appear, it morphs into themes that teach valuable lessons. Specifically, the universal topic of truth appears and shows the theme of truth in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, Disney’s movie The Lion King, and Flint Michigan’s water crisis. Many forms of literature show the topic of truth. An example of truth in literature is in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. In the beginning of the story, truth appears…
