At what level are you trying to define "truth?"
There is a simple level of truth that we all share - the mundane level of our existence....
It is when one tries to define an ultimate truth, the "meaning of life" level of truth, that the real difficulty comes in.....and that is where some sort of compromise needs to come into play, because my version of ultimate truth is ultimately going to collide with someone elses....Because at that level it becomes very unclear what, if anything IS true....
(I'm actually agnostic - I don't profess a believe of ultimate truth)
