Quest for Truth

 In your mind, the truth could be anything, from a religious deity to that perfect slice of cake (or slices... or cakes...) you enjoyed. But whatever your truth is, it's what you believe on your own.

My life is complete.

 This delicious cake could be your truth, but most people want a little more than this chocolate delicacy. Some people actually spend their whole lives trying to figure it out. The problem with truth is that it isn't the same for everyone. It's more of a personal preference to what you think is real. Experiences you've had can actually affect your idea of truth, like the first time you rode a bike, or learned to read. One of the most effective ways of changing your truth is living in a society. Your ideas and views of everything have a tendency of being the same with your community. Hypothetically, if we all shared the same truth, it would be difficult to assimilate how identical everyone would be.

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

- H.D. Thoreau

The reason I chose this quote for this tenet is because it mentions how he would rather have the truth instead of love, money, and fame, which are some of the most desired possessions on this Earth. Also, Thoreau also writes about truth in a few of his stories.
