Truth and Fact: Fiction nowhere in between

Fact: the raw, uncensored, pure nature of something.
Truth: the understanding of the facts, usually in connection with other facts.


Wow, that is SOOO insightful. I know I amaze myself. NOT.

Alright, let's do some of that wonderful clarifimacation I do all the time.

The facts do not speak everything. If a man shoots another, and the man that is shot dies, then the man who shot him has killed him. But is that murder? No, I think not. It is based upon the intent and situation. What is the man was aiming for another initially, but through strange happenings shot another? Or if it were in self-defense? Or in the defense of another? What is murder?

Murder, to most people I believe, is based upon the intent of the actor, not in the act. So what is the truth of the matter? The truth is in the secondary facts perpetuating the simple act.

So Bob shoots Richard while loading, both are about to go hunting. Richard dies. Did Bob murder Richard?

Richard is already shot, Bob is trying to help but Richard slits Bob's throat. Bob simply injures into death Richard, Richard murders Bob.

Truth versus fact.

Such begets the nature of how nature sits quietly. Life is the collection of facts, interpreted through understanding. God is truth. So he is more than facts, than simple nature of things.

It is always important that when life is faced, it is not faced with fact, but with truth. Do not blind yourself to it, forget it, or disregard it.

Truth should be all, and considered greatly.
