You are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Some people call these words.

Are there levels of truth? If something is slightly false, is it impossible for it to also be true?

You are looking at black marks on an electronic screen. Then, you are telling yourself that they form words. Then, you extract meaning from the organization of these words.

Since words are not symonomous with their meanings in the same way that a picture of an apple is not an apple then, in presenting you with words, I am presenting you with an image which you draw meaning from. As the meaning is not the same as the word, and two seperate messages cannot be the same truth, then I am telling you lies. Further more, you are willingly believing my lies.

All words are made of a little bit of lies, since they are not equal to the truth.

This represents a viewpoint that I have heard.
I think this is a bad viewpoint, but I want more opinions.
What do you think?

Truely,

"two seperate messages cannot be the same truth"

I'd have to disagree. Or I'm leaving too much in the interpretation of separate messages.

There is one truth. How can two seperate things both represent the same truth?

There are multiple truths in the world that exist without contradiction. Even so, why couldn't multiple things represent the same truth, so long as they didn't contradict one another?

Oh, I like that one. That's a good one.

How about...
Both make statements about the truth of the objects. Which one is more correct?
