Truth to me is something that resolves a tension we feel. There are big wallop ways to do that, which give you a quick emotional hit. For example, refugees - the two truths that we see most are "they'll come here on our terms only", and "let's embrace them with open arms". Both big sugar rush truths. Big sugar rush truths usually fall over pretty quickly. Like food high in salt and sugar, you get that quick rush, and then you feel hungry or not satisfied not long after. That's how I assess the truth of something, whether it's just a quick emotional resolution, or something more subtle.
