<p>I have preferred the definition that says "Truth is that which does not change."</p>

<p>To make things worse (kind of) is that facts can rather change on you. Facts are seen through mind, but how mind sees the fact can vary. I know many times, I believed in a Fact, and it turned out that what I thought was True, was a fact (not True) that was very different after more was known. Facts which are experiences can also change. Likewise, a belief may change, even if it was derived from an experience based on Facts.</p>
<p>The above may sound like dribble, but that dribble took some serious time to discover.</p>
<p>I suppose the rule is to keep that which has never changed. That is the only belief you have a basis to believe. For now, anyway.</p>
