Truth

The question of how we can know the truth is common, yet hard to answer. There are a number of factors that can affect one from knowing the whole truth. The situation, for one, is a prime example of how the truth can be distorted. People often individualize the truth to fit their life, which leads them to the possibility of not knowing the real truth. One place that we can rely on for the real truth is the Church Magisterium. The Magisterium has carefully dictated what is labeled as right and wrong, and it is our responsibility to follow their teaching. In the movie A Time To Kill, knowing the truth is an apparent struggle from the beginning. The biggest example is whether Carl Lee was in the wrong when killing the two men. We know that because the object, his action, was bad, that it was a morally wrong thing to do. But the circumstances may aide to lessen his guilt; he was acting out of rage and possibly was irrational when doing the action.
