Bob, your words reminded me of something my European history professor said in front of the class way back in 1964. He said, "In the course of history, truth is simply what the majority of people believe." Those words have stuck with me all these years as it was a different definition of the word truth than what I had ever heard or imagined. His definition seems inadequate to me, but maybe there's some "truth" in it? I do not know how the professor's definition matches up with the dictionary definition of truth. |
