What is the difference between "truth" and "fact"?
Heyy again) I overheard a fascinating debate on the "difference between fact and truth" during a podcast. Can you please give a clear explanation.

Hi there


Thank you for your question. 

A fact is a piece of information that can be verified or proven to be true by producing factual evidence. It is based on tangible data which can be verified by sources. Truth on the other hand is a subjective concept which varies from person to person based on their perception or belief about the subject or matter at hand.

Truths are often influenced by a persons personal experience, and therefore may be true to them, however this may not be the case for the next person. Facts are concrete proof that something is factually true and is based on evidence and not personal biases or feelings.

I hope this helps you with your query and we look forward to assisting you with any further assistance or questions you may have!
