The Mystery Behind The Truth

What is the Truth? It is the one of the only thing in this world of smoke and mirrors, ups and downs, and twists and turns that people spend countless of hours and money to find. The truth is one of the most complicated and diverse concept anyone can grasp. It is used in everyday life and yet it is still a very vague concept that people do not comprehensively understand. Relative or is it absolute is what some may quarrel about.
