I don't believe that there is any one concept or idea that everyone on earth would agree on. So, "What is truth?" and "What is real?" must of necessity be relativistic.
Every culture on earth would have you believe that their truths, their philosophy and their religion is truth but this is not the case. Any one of you can see this.
So, at best people of a certain educational model(people who were educated similarly) and (people who speak the same language) might agree on some but not all things.
So, then we must all realize just how diverse human beings really are.
For example, in order to travel on jet passenger plane anywhere on earth there are certain requirements generally. (Although in some countries these requirements might be waived by bribes or private jets or even chartered jets.) Some of the requirements might be that you need a valid Passport from your native country in order to fly from one country to another. However, the problem with this is many people have no public identification at all because they were not born in a hospital and literally have no way to be identified other than by friends or relatives. I would say the majority of people on earth or at least half fall into that category of not having a birth certificate which then prevents them from obtaining a passport which then prevents them from traveling(at least legally) from country to country. Although, for example, many people travel from country to country in Asia, South America, and even in Europe by avoiding major border crossings and just finding ways to sneak across borders for whatever reasons they might have.
Even when I was in Asia in the 1980s I noticed often that many people traveling did not look at all like the pictures in their passports. So I just assumed they were not the people in the passports which kind of made me think differently about traveling in Asia.
So, even in regard to identity there is no truth in actuality in most of the world. Even though, people who travel in places like the United States and Europe with countries that can identify fake passports or people not using their own passports generally are the people in the passports.
So, what is truth? I suppose it can be exactly whatever you think it is any given moment. And that truth is different for every person on earth.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
