Knowledge. Truth. Beliefs. All connected but never can be fully understood. How can a mere human give their opinon on truth if they only know a fraction of what is true? We question our beliefs all the time because we can't be 100% sure of something that we believe. The reason for this is because some truths can't be proven... and thats where the chaos begins.

You believe what you have been taught to be true. Many seek truth through knowledge because essentially knowledge is the search for truth. You can say what you believe to be truth and it not be true, but that doesn't mean you are lying. Lying is when you say the opposite of what you believe to be true. And through the search for truth we may come upon some lies that we believe. Yet knowing the truth is powerful, but if no one believes you how much power does it accually retain?

Plato's vindiagram can never be filled in correctly by anyone who doesn't know everything that is true, because in order to place the beliefs in the correct circles you have to know every truth and everything that is not true. But in general it does make sense; somethings that you believe aren't true, somethings that you believe are true, you just don't know for sure, there are somethings you know for sure, and then still there are things you don't believe that are true.
