What is truth?

Doing some thinking for an assignment, came out better than planned  Truth is something that everyone should practice no matter what. It is something that does not have to be mastered, but should try to be put to use in everyday cases and never forgotten. Because if you become untruthful to people around you, eventually you may become untruthful to yourself.(or in some cases vice versa) Which could result to the point of making yourself think something is the right thing to do, when in truth, it is not.Truth could also be described as your subconscious speaking, which is the best advocate in knowing what is the true thing to do or say. So in a way, truth is good for you, not only ethically, but also mentally. Many religions emphasize truth, for one reason or another. May it be to follow what the religion thinks is right, or in order to better yourself. But I think exists for Balance. That is why it should not be mastered, because it was not meant to be mastered. There are always going to be lies in the world because we are human. We are not perfect. We are all ignorant sometimes, and when we are in this state, we listen to what we want to happen, not necessarily what needs to happen.
