Kim Possible is your average
teenage girl. But here is something special that provides a foundation which
Kim uses to save the world. The rock onwhich She stands. The higher ground from
which She makes Her every move. The clear lens through which She sees the world
around Her. That which "has Her back", and protects Her from
the villainy in the world.
The Magic Behind Kimberly Anne Possible is Truth.

Truth
= |
 |
Mathematical
"Because of such stringent criteria for establishing and accepting something as true, there is no danger that a revolutionary new idea will appear that shakes the foundations of mathematics, causing mathematicians to have to reject things that they once though were true and start over. New discoveries in mathematics--new truths--are added to what is already known. New ideas may open up whole new fields of inquiry, but they will never cause anything to be removed from the body of knowledge that mathematicians recognize as true."(2)
|
Truth
= Truth does not change. |
 |
Philosophical
"The authentic vocation or calling of the philosopher (which is shared by every rational person) is to seek out the truth with courage and integrity... Of course, this concept of 'truth' is something that has been questioned and doubted by many people since the very inception of philosophy. However, just about any human knowledge (including scientific theories) depends on a basic trust both in our own cognitive faculties and in those of our fellow human beings, not to mention the ability of other people to share their knowledge with honesty and integrity... if man is not bound by a truth greater than himself, he is in grave danger of descending into utter contempt and callousness for his fellow neighbours, particularly if they are vulnerable and are seen as obstacles to his 'will to power'."(3)
|
Truth = Truth exists independently of man, and independently of his observations. It is "Truth" that catches one in mid-step or mid-sentence when something is not quite right (i.e. not true). |
 |
Scientific
"Explanations and theories that correctly predict new results from new observations or experiments bring us closer to a true understanding of nature and the rules by which it operates. This true understanding of nature is what I call ``scientific truth'' in this text to distinguish it from other definitions of truth as in religious truth, for example. Scientific truths are based on clear observations of physical reality and can be tested through observation. Certain religious truths are held to be true no matter what. That is okay as long as it is not considered to be a scientific truth. Some things like love, honor, honesty, and compassion are known to be right or true without the test of experiments."(4)
|
Scientists
require instruments and recordings verifiable by a collective to substantiate
their truths. |
 |
Legal
"TRUTH - The actual state of things.
In contracts, the parties are bound to tell the truth in their dealings,
and a deviation from it will generally void the contract and even concealment,
or suppressio veri, will be considered fraudulent in the contract of insurance.
In giving his testimony, a witness is required to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth;
for the object in the examination of matters of fact, is to ascertain truth."(5)
|
Truth = Truth is like the gravitational pull of the sun. All men are kept in place by the gravitational pull of Truth. Those who battle against or ignore the pull of Truth lay at risk of being distorted by that very force or flying into space. |
 |
Truth
is not like a compass that points the way.
Truth is like firm ground that provides even and sure footing.
To venture off the path of Truth is to tread on soft and shifting sand.
|
Truth is: (A) That which
cannot be divided. |
 |
"When
I tell any truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know
it,
but for the sake of defending those that do." William Blake(6)
