I have spent the week thinking about the difference between “true” and “truth” and how to seek it.

To me truth can be more subjective

Yeah. I have settled on “true” as a way to evaluate single statements about narrow categories. “Truth” however is bigger than any one claim in any single truth category, or it tends to encompass things that are true across multiple categories. Truth seeking then is about building and supporting personal world views or narratives that support things like purpose or meaning or identity. That would be where the subjectivity you mention comes in. My take so far 🤷‍♂️😄
