Fact vs Truth --- one more illustration

A fact is actually an observation. "2+2=4" and"The sun rises in the east," are facts. They may or may not be any part of truth. "A wise woman builds her house, but a stupid one tears her house down," is an example of truth. You can usually touch and measure a fact, but truth is more abstract. Facts may or may not support your understanding of truth, as in trial by jury. The story of Moses bringing the Ten Commandments to the Israelites may not be verifiable fact, but it is Truth people can learn and grow with. A great deal of the conflict among people centers in the distinction between fact and truth. You have asked an important question. Keep thinking about it.
