I like Quine’s disquotation theory of truth. Basically words are what they are and saying that something is true is like putting quotes around a phrase and saying that said within the quotes is true. It is a way of abbreviating a list of things that are true instead of saying that each individual thing is true. One knows that words are simply true or false representations or meanings of something implicitly. One may say something is true yet be lying about that. Truth is a language tool reinforcing the existence of things said to exist (as a positive or negative condition).
Beauty and goodness are subjective concepts. Liberation from oppression may be beautiful and good to one while to another the events are ugly and oppressive. Experience is subjectively, individually made. Some things are good for all humans I suppose, in limited quantity- like clean water, and the list of things that people would agree are true, beautiful and good would tend to be select material objects and relationships.
I believe Jesus Christ-God, is the sole inherent truth as he is The Word, from the beginning from whom all things were issued or made and the rest is contingent being caught in the Higgs field.
