I don't think it exists! Everyone's perception of the world is based upon their own experiences, so each individuals 'truth' is different to another individual, with different experiences. This is the one failing of the English language; we don't have a word for this, but the Germans do. "Weltanschauung" loosely translated means 'world view', and everyones 'truth' is inevitably based upon this.

The biggest problem however, is when people think they know the truth. Unfortunately that's when wars start. John Fantastic Susan! – “Truth” is my big thing. I don’t think it exists!
