Would you mind listing a few?
Sure, we can start with the simple ones. While I'm writing this sentence -
- It's raining outside
- Therefore, the monsoons are not over yet
- There are people getting wet outside.
And so on.

Oh, is that what you mean by truth? What I meant was simply a statement regarding a fact of reality that may or may not be absolute (since reality changes all the time), may or may not be certain (since certainty is the aspect of observer, not the reality) and may or may not be evidence based (it is possible to make a factual statement without evidence).
