Philosophy : Truth

If many people think something is true, it is not necessarily true. The group of people who think that something is true might be influenced by others and so it is not their honest opinion. Also, is a group of people think it is true, it can be because that group wants to gain from that lie, thus saying that it is the truth. The fact that they think is true can also be distorted in the first place, thus it is not the truth. The group that believes that the fact is true can also have been the ones who distort the original truth and so other people will believe them.

Truth is also just a matter of perspective. Truth can be what one wants it to be, and one can distort it without knowing it. For example, a person can leave out parts in an incident that he does not want others to know, and it is also counted as the truth. He can also blow the incident up to a major catastrophe so people will have a wrong impression of the incident.
