... How do we know when we have found the truth, how do we know we have actually found the truth? Seeking the truth is an aspect of life that humanity has always sought for. There are many debates on what is the actual truth where to find the real truth and if the truth really exists. The truth is an element of life that will always vary depending on source from which it is told from. That is why there is no reliable truth for anything. The Greek philosopher Socrates made a wise observation when he said, "all I know is I know nothing". For this is the only thing in life we can as human being be sure of because everything in life has a degree of skepticism. Therefore we know when we have found the truth because we believe it, and we never know whether we have actually found
