Truth, can be defined. I shall define it as 'that which cannot be denied'. Are you happy with that? CANNOT be denied.
But, "I can deny anything you say" can't I? Is there anything which cannot be denied?
Yes. 'I am', or 'I exist'. One may not know what this 'I' that 'exists' is, but that one exists cannot be denied, because one has to exist in order to even attempt the denial.
There for 'existence' is Truth. Now what this existence is, is a matter for enquiry.
