How can 'truth' be found?

Ah...a question for the ages.Many have claimed to know the answer to this. There is a Buddhist answer, a Hindu answer, a Christian answer, an Islamic answer...and so on.If there are many answers, is it truth?There are also scientific answers, mathematical answers, philosophical answers, and pragmatic answers.And there are many who say that the truth, if there is such a thing, cannot be known; that real capital-T Truth is beyond human understanding.The best place to look is within yourself.When you seek the truth, no matter where you arrive, it will meet some people's definitions of 'truth' and not others'. Some will say you are right, some will say you are wrong, and some will say that they don't know.Some will say that the only truth to be found is what you find when you are not looking. Some will say that THEY KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER and that everyone who disagrees with them is damned. Some will say there are many kinds of truth, and some will say there is only one absolute truth, make that Absolute Truth, and it just happens to be what they believe in. And some will keep saying (a) that they don't know and (b) that it doesn't matter whether they know or not because it isn't going to change anything they do.I happen to think that there is such a thing as Truth and that knowing it is not something we ordinary humans can achieve; so I settle for relative truth, in the belief that some truth is better than no truth.


What criteria did Socrates use to filter information and determine its validity, as outlined in his concept of the "Three Sieves"?

Socrates used the "Three Sieves" to filter information and determine its validity. These sieves were truth, goodness, and usefulness. He believed that information should be true, good, and useful in order to be considered valid. If the information did not meet these criteria, Socrates would discard it as unreliable or unimportant.
