Truth v Facts

Truth rests in understanding the context of a situation.  Facts might, or might not, be obtained from reading the written record of a policeman or an investigator.  Those who have sought to discover the facts of a tsunami will never be able to satisfy those who experienced the horror, the truth of it.  The same is true for the people who are concerned about what is happening to the victims of an airline disaster, to veterans in Arizona, or who are concerned about the possible extinction of our human species on Earth.
