What is truth? Truth is the correct reflection of people's knowledge about the objective world and its laws.Truth makes people full of hope and life full of brilliance and glory.Therefore,many people regard the pursuit of truth as the ultimate goal of their lives.

In human history, many people devoted their lives to the pursuit of

truth and made outstanding contributions to mankind.

Truth is both absolute and relative. We say that truth is absolute because truth can objectively reflect the essentials of things.However, any truth is but people's correct understanding of the development of things at a certain stage. Therefore, truth is relative

and develops constantly.

Sometimes, the brilliance of truth may dim but it will never die out. For some people, truth may seem beyond their reach. In fact,it

is close at hand. We can find truth as long as we keep pursuing it heart and soul.
