What do you think it means? Give us your thoughts and we can discuss it.
I think it means that truth is absolute, reagardless of opinions, perceptions, parameters or context.
That seems a valid interpretation to me.
It might also mean that the "world" may have ideas, opinions, perceptions, etc., that are untrue, based on local prejudices. Yours is quite good, though!
