what is truth?

Years ago I wondered whether it were possible to formulate a meaningful definition of the word "truth" -- apart from any reference to God.  I found that to be a far more difficult task than I could have imagined.  After three days of thinking about nothing else but to resolve that difficult question, I arrived in my mind at a definition of truth, which definition I still believe it to be valid and therefore useful.  Here, then, is my "secular" definition of truth:

ignorance

The above image conveys three exceedingly important ideas, namely:

1. IGNORANCE -- is a fact of life.  What does God have to say about that?
2. Do we have a "right" to remain ignorant?
3. Ignorance is not always due to lack of opportunity to learn but, oftentimes, it is the result of willful choice.
