She says my truth as truth is a matter of perception. Your truth of watching and reporting on an incidence would be different from my truth....filters....
Observe this powerful mind fuckery at work. (Not you yourself but the effect that this distortion of language has had upon you.) This is a prototypical example - "truth is a matter of perception". The truth is not someone's reporting, their reporting would be better described as their story or account. The truth is not nearly so pedestrian. The truth would be what that person should strive for in recounting their story.
It is not theirs to possess or mold into "their narrative". Their account or story certainly is but truth's meaning as a word has been successfully perverted.
To be honest, in this day and age of ubiquitous bullshit, the truth is sacred.
"My Truth" is straight up, Orwellian, fucky language and it is doing it's job when people are defending it.
It is impossible for people to witness the same event and the truth to be the same in every particular no matter how truthful they strive to be. It really is a matter of what filters you have and you are trying to deny they exist . Why?
..and again this is a perfect illustration. The word just has a different meaning to you than the classic meaning.
The truth, in your example, would be better illustrated by a video of the event which the two are recounting.(Do I really have to spell this out?) So if their accounts are both incorrect in certain details, would not the account provided by the camera be true and correct. The truth.
If they are incorrect or have inconsistencies how can their accounts be the truth? They are accidentally incorrect, and so, in some details, not telling the truth. In court, when they say to tell the truth, what do you think they mean?
Cambridge Dictionary:- "the real facts about a situation, event, or person" "the quality of being true" - this is pretty self explanatory.
The definition does not contain "real fact about a situation, event or person including incorrectly remembered facts, innuendo and scuttlebutt."
