yet if I understand clearly the point made by Chef, there is a truth (not THE but A) that is not in the eyes of the beholder, or maybe a more accurate description could be or should be :there is a truth for different dimensions of beholding.
not all humans can perceive all dimensions of a truth, and some as Chef pointed out are "truther" than others, or belong to a more ample reality if you like.
I do not necessarily advocate a logical validation yet there is doubt that deeper truths, larger truths, encompass a wider range of personal truths, these in turn may apply to a particular individual and even then only for a brief period of time, before she "discovers" or unveils a deeper or larger truth.
I do not believe in an absolute truth, for there is an-going process of refinement continuously updating and upgrading the level of complexity of truth we can comprehend.
hence truth can be described as the localized perception of a dynamic process in its application to a particular individual at a particular point in time, perceiving a given set of dimensions. change any parameter in the above and you change the truth.
