I often find that an opinion can change with a simple sentence because our mind is fragile, feeble even. It is based upon circumstantial opinions and evidence, our principles are formed based upon our location, our environment and our upbringing which can often cause chaos when two of different basis' come together in a meeting for their opinions clash, causing conflict which is far from beneficial.

The fact that our mind is that weak to change because we are influenced through words seems almost frightening, to imagine that words can change our lifestyle is a daunting prospect. Some people attempt to battle against the words, arguing and debating but it often comes to no avail except that a person is now perceived as argumentative and refuses to accept the truth.

The question is...what is truth? Is truth what we perceive as a fact? How can one person state that something is fact, imagine this; someone speaks of several memories which are perceived to be fact, if that person then tells the word of their memories, will everyone believe they are facts? Unlikely. Truth. It's a word that has no true meaning in the world except in our minds, we focus upon that word but we can never state that truth is fact because often, fact is nothing more than a foundational opinion.

Imagine that. Fact is opinion. Truth is false.
