General

Truth is objective rather than subjective, it best applies to situations where science or philosophy can identify true roots and show results in the same way a mathematical equation can show truth.

Personal truth is when we can say that our brain chemistry was impacted, that from our personal perspective we experienced the emotions we are saying we experienced, but we accept that it is a subjective matter where there can be multiple perspectives.

Events can be the former, the latter, or a mixture of the two to various degrees. Often times points in legal settlements rely upon the separation of truth and personal truth. Though both are important and should be taken into account when deciding recommendations, to realise the difference is key to finding peace.
