Truth Introduccion

In the past, Truth was the ever-revolving, ever-changing goal of life. The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Throughout time, humanity has searched for truths. Truths about life, religion, you name it. It is ingrained in our DNA to obtain truth because we equate truth to salvation. Understanding the truths of the world, will allow us into the "afterlife." This old-style of thinking was very popular until this little movement called Postmodernism came along. It attacks Truth, thus attacking the very core of human existence. Is truth permanent? Is truth appropriate? Is truth even relevant? These are questions that postmodernists started to ask to the world. The three pieces below depict those questions. They force the viewer/reader to question his/her own truths. They ask the very simple, yet very complex question of is this true? To be honest, I do not entirely understand the meaning of truth. But maybe, that is the point. I will leave that up to you to decide.
