... "Context is all" (Margaret Atwood). Does this mean that there is no such thing as truth? When addressing this question it's important that I explain what I understand by the words context and truth. My view of the word context is something (such as time or setting) that surrounds a particular event and that can alter its meaning. Truth is what happened in reality. There are two types of truth. The first one is my truth: it's what I believe it's true. For example I might say that if we laugh a lot throughout the day we'll sleep better. That is my truth only, since someone else might not believe that. Whether or not the rest of the people believe this, the truth will always be mine. In this case I think that context does not influence what I believe in; therefore in this case context doesn't affect truth.
