Certitude is the firm and steadfast consent of the mind while truth is the conformity of the
judging mind to the object being known. I can say that they are related to one another since
certitude can never be achieved without truth. A man can never be certain about the things he
knows if he does not know the truth of the object that is why a person can never be attain
certitude without the truth. And when the mind attains a known truth the person can be certain of
the object that the truth has revealed to him and in this man can be certain about the object
because certitude is the firm and steadfast consent of the mind.
An example of this can be found in our modern time particularly now in our country since there
are so many people who spread the so called fake news or lies. This is a problem since a person
is lying about the truth. It is not uncommon to find people making up fake news since it can
happen but by doing so it is very hard to attain the certitude of things and although it is hard a
person can still find certitude if he investigates and look for facts to the truth to find the correct
and right truth and in which he can have certitude.
