"She was wearing his jacket. What do you mean what color was it? It was red. How'd I know it was his? It had his name on the back, and all his medals were on the front. Plus, I saw him take it off and put in on her. Everyone at my lunch table did. Who all was there? Suzie, Audrey, and me, of course. No, thank You, your Honor."

fact - a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred.

"He is cheating on me with her, I know he is! How do I know? Well, just look at the way she talks around him! And the way she dresses and walks and, and, and...She's wearing his jacket, for God's sake! What do you mean she might have been cold? He wouldn't give her his jacket unless he was seeing her! SEEING HER BEHIND MY BACK! Wouldn't he? Would he? No, no your Honor...that is all."

opinion - a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty.

Sometimes, it's hard to keep your facts straight from your opinions.

A very good friend of mine likes to quote a certain movie at times like these; "What is it in us that seeks the truth? Is it our minds or is it our hearts?"

truth - a fact that has been verified.

In seeking the truth, we are entangled with facts, opinions, lies, ideas, and many more. We must tred carefully, as we don't want to hurt anyone. But there's come a time when you can't let the lies and opinions and the ideas stand in your way anymore. The lies and opinions and ideas aren't your truth.

The facts are.

Whatever it be in you that seeks the truth, whether it be your heart or your mind; let it listen to all the facts. Let your heart or your mind listen to every last little fact and throw away all the lies and opinions and ideas and just let the facts sit there and be.

Then you'll have your truth.

Open your heart,
Open your mind,
and listen.

there's your truth.
