TRUTH IS LIVED NOT TAUGHT
1. Introduction
The concept of truth has been a subject of philosophical inquiry for centuries. Many philosophers have debated the nature of truth and how it can be known or understood. However, the idea that truth is something that can be taught is flawed. Truth is not a mere intellectual concept that can be transmitted through words or teachings. Instead, truth is something that must be experienced and lived.
