a couple of months ago when talking to Chakrapani i was mentioning that coherence and consistency is a great way to find out the truth. so today 17-02-2023 the though somehow resurfaced. i googled a little and came across this article. https://spiritandtruthonline.org/characteristics-of-truth/ though i don't agree with everything in the article, there were some interesting points. it also mentioned coherence as one of the natures of truth.
we all have differing perspectives (which can be biased, prejudiced, ignorant, arrogant, uninformed and so on
In fact, because there is truth, the value of any given perspective depends on how accurately it corresponds to reality, to truth.
Coherence is internal cohesion and consistency.
Logic is what allows us to extrapolate from the rules
No matter how we try to explain it away to minimize our differences, there is not a different truth for different people
Another way to think of the universal characteristic of truth is that it is not provincial, parochial, constrained, or petty. Truth is ecumenical, broad, sweeping, and ubiquitous. Truth is not trendy or superficial. Because truth is universal, no one can escape it
The danger in not recognizing that truth is universal is that some people act as if it does not apply to them simply because they do not believe it
Truth excludes anything that is contrary to it. It is the exclusive nature of truth that causes people to think of those who embrace it as “narrow-minded.”
this is thought provoking. need to revisit this. revisit people whom i considered as "narrow-minded". I was wrong??
A primary weapon of the Adversary is lies and untruth, but a lie cannot be seen for what it is if no one believes in truth.
