Discussion However, defining truth this way tends to push away the concept of objective truth, a reality which exists irrespective of how accurately we can interface with it.
 * According to one person I've spoken to, Ideas are the grey (not true or false) language to communicate truth between people. Recepient people have the choice whether or not to make the idea their own (truth). (These are two of the alternate definitions). So far, I agree with the reality of these concepts. The language is irrelevant. However assigning the implications of the word truth to this definition of truth I do not agree with (that is, that we should really only care about relative truth). Of course we should use relative truth to make decisions - I mean, there isn't any other way besides bowing to the will of another (different from making a calculated trust decision).
