What Is Truth?

What is truth? I think truth is something that people find to be the answer for somehting else. They can use it to prove something. Truth can be something that is believed by a large group of people and is thought to be correct because it hasn't been proven wrong. I think truth can be proven wrong, but then people will look for a new truth. It can be an explanation, somehting for people to fall back on and think is right.

Who says what truth is? I think that when a majority or a large group of people all agree on somehting, they look at it as true. So what's a majority? I loom at it as a percentage of 51-100% of the people. Not just one person can say something it true and have it be true. Many people have to believe it.

Do I agree with the book? I agree with the book when it says that truth is looking for the best solution. It's somehting that people would agree with or want. They could be the majoruty who could say what truth is.
