All people know the same truth. Our lives consist of how we choose to distort it.

Woody Allen (American Filmmaker, actor, comedian)

How about that for a good laugh? The idea that truth can change is seriously confusing. It’s like truth is playing hide and seek with us, changing its hiding spot every time we look for it! Imagine if every time you asked for the truth, it responded with “Just kidding, I’m over here now!” This whole truth-changing business challenges the concept of one absolute truth and suggests that there’s a whole bunch of truths hanging out at the same time. It’s like a truth party, and everyone’s invited! Maybe, that’s a good thing, if it can helps us wrap our heads around the fact that truth is a tricky, shape-shifting thing influenced by all sorts of factors.

Woody Allen is really good at showing the different parts of life, like funny things and serious things. This shows he knows that truth is complicated. In his movies, the people have to deal with what is true and how they see things. This makes us think about our own ideas and views.

In the end, considering truth as flexible and multi-faceted really asks us to stay open-minded – after all, truth can be a bit like a chameleon, changing colours and blending in depending on the situation. If we accept that there are heaps of things shaping our perception of truth, it allows us to grasp various perspectives and the ever-changing nature of our own truths. What’s the alternative? Living in a truth-resistant bubble? Sounds like a recipe for a comedy of errors!
