What is truth?

Truth is that which corresponds to reality.
1. What is reality? Reality is that which is true. Reality and truth are related.
But reality is perceived. Since perceptions are different, the perception of reality is different.
1. This may be true, but the nature of reality does not change when perception changes.
How, then, can we recognize when our perceptions are not true?
1. When they do not correspond to reality. That is, when reality intrudes upon a perception.
  1. Example: I perceive that the pan is cold. I touch it, and it is hot and I get burned. The reality is that it is hot. My perception is altered to correspond to reality.
2. When a perception is contrary to logic.
  1. Logic is useful for determining error. Error is recognized; that is, it is an awareness of something that is not true.
    1. But there is error that is true. For example: I error in turning left when I should have turned right. It is true that I turned left instead of right.
  2. Then it does not represent reality. But logic is only as good as the one using it. Not so, since logic is not dependent upon the individual. Logic is consistency and non-contradiction in truth since if something is not true, it would be inconsistent and likely contradict real truth.
