Can we really know the truth?

As I have been reconciling myself in the world of thoughts, a usual circumstance transpires

in my mind, the verb knowing, this action word does connote that all men has the capacity to be

aware on something and more so to do something with its fullest consciousness. As man inquires

and as the queries arise on man’s mind this would be outset of his or her fullness because the act

of knowing is innate and endowed on him or her while knowledge is derived from outside of him,

suffice that the knowing is a pivotal faculty. However for me there is something anomalous

regarding in knowing the truth.

Experiencewise, the query “can we really know the truth?” lingers on my mind in the sense

that if we can really know the truth then why do some of our accumulated truths diverge with

others, according to the philosophy truth is something objective, religion per se can accentuate my

point. Many sects have different averment with God’s notion and claim that’s the true principle

that we should adhere. Philosophers likewise deviates their notion with each other in a specific

aspect and principle, if this is the case I cannot say that truth attainable. As the phenomenology

accentuates that thing is different the way it appears in this sense the defect is in our senses or on

how we perceive it because of the subjectivity.

Truth is something which man is yearning for, the demands of our intellect is truth per se.

However the process of knowing should not be engulfed of an inordinate self- inclusivity.

Wherefore, the truth our need to progress, the truth of needing justice, the truth of needing God

can’t grasp by many of us despite manifold drawbacks which are transpiring. Can we really know

the truth?
