The whole world around us, all the facts and things in it, from the point of view of our knowledge, is divided into three categories: what we are not sure of, what we are sure of, and what we are ready to swear to defend with our life. That very hill to die on. And such beliefs are different for various people, of course.
The so-called “Socratic paradox” goes that “I know that I know nothing” and is attributed to the great Greek philosopher Socrates. And still, even the great skeptic, denying the possibility of any knowledge, in the end, as we remember, took poison, defending his own convictions. Of course, one should not be so radical, but still, each of us has our own truths.
And so, a few days ago, a thread appeared in the AskReddit community, the author of which asked a question about just this: “What do you swear on your life to be 100% true?” Today, the thread has over 42.6K upvotes and almost 28.5K different comments, and what is an indisputable truth for some may well be perceived by others as a very controversial issue. In the end, so many people – so many opinions.
Bored Panda has carefully sifted through the sand of the original thread’s numerous comments in search of the golden grains of the best, most popular, and weightiest comments, so now feel free to scroll to the very end of this list, mark the most interesting submissions for you and, of course, leave your comments. After all, you, we are almost sure, also have your own truths that you would bet are 100% true!

History is written and preserved and distributed by the winners.
Humans are capable of lying, twisting facts to show themselves, places and people they like in a good light. Modern world has PR agencies for rich and connected.
Combine the two and history as we know it is a twisted version of what really happened.

People don’t *genuinely* care about deaths of strangers they don’t personally know or haven’t met. If people had the option to choose to sacrifice 10 lives of people they have never met to save 1 they love, they would do it without hesitation – they probably wouldn’t admit it out loud, but they *would* agree to it.
