Direct experience contributes to how we accept truths. Having experienced something that provides first hand information may incline us to see that option as more factual. This is because with have more faith in this as this offers more direct exposure to the thing we are trying to find the truth about.

The way we perceive things affects what we accept as truth. If we believe in something initially and a truth that goes against our beliefs is preposed, we are more likely to disregard that truth.

There are many steps in coming to a conclusion when deciding what is true and false. It is important to be skeptical when coming to this decision. To accept a truth, you should make sure you understand what is being said. You should also take the time to consider what can be considered "false" about this "truth". It is also important to dissect the truth and build back up into a way that makes the most sense to you.

Deciding on a truth through experience is an effective way of deciding. This is because the experience allows you see what is happening first hand. This truth will also make a lot of sense to you because you have direct involvement with what you are trying to make sense of. When trying to find truths that help you instead of hinder your knowledge, you have to have to set your mind to blank slate. This allows you to take in all different points of view. It is common for people to have biases, this causes them to disregard certain truths and only accept those that benefit their personal cause. To discredit unjust and entrenched belief systems, you have to break these belief systems. Breaking these systems down allows you to see where something may be wrong.

I can see my way of coming to a truth through my research. I come to truth through what I can understand. I do this by getting first hand experience and breaking it down into what it easy for me to understand.
