friendly yours teenameena.
Hurt me? Not at all teenameena, why would you think that?
Truth and lies are part of life. Even Mother-Nature lies. Without both there can be problems in life. What is the meaning of a lie, to show something else and the motive behind it be something else. For example: Insect-eater plants attract insects into false attraction to eat them. Some predatory animals show false attraction to attract their prey. In order to increase the population of a species, nature attracts males and females into each other with false attraction.
Mother-Nature is the biggest liar.
So never expect 100% pure truth from anyone. Mother-Nature could not yet developed such a species which is 100% pure truth.
Life is a mixture of truth and falsehood. This is the bitter truth of life.
But maybe we can feel the pure truth in a newborn baby.
Asking what the truth is is like asking what the answer to all things is, in a way. Thing is, the oath is the courts sums up the truth as far as we can handle it: "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" as you are able to determine that. There is an underlying reality; we aren't capable of quite taking it all in; but like a certain English teacher I once said, "we all have our interpretations of a text and like arrows on a target some are closer to dead center than others but none are ever perfect." The best proof of being true is coherence--things have to fit together.
An enlightened person clearly sees there are two kinds of truth. The apparent conventional truth and the real or ultimate Truth. The ultimate Truth can be realized only through meditation, and not theorizing or speculating. The ultimate Truth cannot be realised through the five senses alone, it is a state of being or awarness.

Really, you make a distinction between the "apparent conventional truth" and the "ultimate Truth?" Unless you are distinguishing between the "truth" as published and any reasoned version of truth you are unclear. Meditation is distinct from theorizing? Speculation is only different in that it is lightly done. Since the ultimate truth cannot be realized through the senses, I assume you have a direct line to God.
Truth for me is subjective to different variables..
Truth is something so unbelievable it would smack you in the heart when you finally realized the profound nature of it's unified reality and joyfully so.
Truths born of this illusion are nothing but ego anchors that we hang onto to get by in what we think is a real world. Of course those are primarily subjective, some unilaterally objective, but only to hold the illusion together for everyone that believes in the ego way.
