The truth can be adjusted

The truth can be dealt with and bended

The truth is irrelevant, what is relevant is what we want

The truth is there to suppress, to undermine, and to kill

I am right, I know I am, right?

Who else but me is the truth?

I am the truth, I am the law.
 
For example?
I think context is important here. One example: there may be more than one truth in a given situation. Another: intention changes the context. Another: truths can, in a mundane way, but under my control - I could for example, give up the urge for revenge. Another person might look at what has gone before and be sure I want revenge. They would be wrong.
 
the truth is one truth. but ther are cases were people try to rewrite the truth in their benefit.
 
That's because it's not truth that's the decisive factor nor the motivating interest, but appearances.
 
I'll just share one opinion on this:

"If you don't see it yourself, everything is an opinion, and an opinion's correctness depends on the listener."
 
The truth is out there. Reality exists. You ignore it at your own peril. As Ayn Rand said,
“We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality”​
 
You can't even define what truth is.

But what do you mean by "truth" of others?

Are you implying honesty, or "to tell the whole and nothing but the" truth, i.e. not to lie, or scientific truth, or the truth of existence or "why" we exist, or what?

If you replace "the truth" with "history", in your OP, what happens, anything?
 
More Ayn Rand:
“When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.”​
 
What I mean is if you have truth to tell to the world, don't quote others, be truthful to yourself, don't hide behind other people's thoughts and ideas. Tell us your truth blind and naked as you sought it yourself.

...your quoting me...
 
Sort of, I'm paraphrasing what you said, to illustrate an earlier point, about what might be meant by "the truth".

To be able to tell such a truth, one would need to be enlightened first.

Because normally, no matter what a person says, the unenlightened will see it as more or less an act of "hiding behind other people's thoughts and ideas".
 
There's your truth, my truth, someone elses truth and then made up truths, truths that change and truths that lie.
