Does everyone have their own TRUTH as well?


Hi everyone!

After watching this film and learning that to each his own morality, to each his own justice and that we born alone, we live alone and we die along, I had to wonder...

Doesn't each person have their own TRUTH or even TRUTHS about the world as well?

Given how we all think differently, but we even interpret facts differently too, and we all have different opinions and different truths not only about what's right and wrong, but how some acts of wrong should be punished and what we as a society may think, even if sadly for the MOST part indeed, we often make the wrong choices that benefit ourselves but either harm or alienate other people in the process, sometimes even unwittingly.

And who, ultimately speaking, IS right in the end, given often the so many different stances and opinons on many things? And according to what factors?

Heck, even The Butcher character here seems to have his own TRUTHS as well, about morality, what is right and wrong etc, even if sadly, he often thinks in very selfish and very bigoted ways and what's worse - believes he is right and doesn't question himself, and empathy for him doesn't seem to be the most important factor in the world.

Judging by many comments by people online, it seems as if many people have particular facts, truths and knowledges that are wired in their blood, they cannot maybe fully explain or comprehend them, but they are there nonetheless.

Besides, didn't Kim Jong Un also do far more bad and horrible deeds than just murder his brother?
