Truth as a major occurrence in most of our lives is just the interpretation of fact in our favor. What ever the emphasis is on it certainly (for most) caters to and grants allowance of succeeding behavior. At times it may be outright or unconscious to our precepts, nonetheless they remain lies.
In the case of apparent lies, they are filtered in three forms to allow us to move about our lives. One, outright acceptance (rare) resulting in huge changes in thinking and behavior. Two, rationalization (the most likely) where the lie is diluted to a scenario of our choosing to fit in with what we already know in an effort to create little change and retain familiarity and a sense of comfortability. Three, suppression (second most likely) a state of delusion when within we accept nothing and leave it to be dealt with and confronted it later time to retain immediate, but short term bliss.
According to Dawkins even our system of vision is illusionary. If we can't trust our senses then what can we? Well we can certainly rely on the developed methods of sensory acquisition. This input is a mental rationalization and form of cope-ability to the complexities of the world. They are true in the sense that they give us enough information in easily decipherable ways in order for us to function at an increasingly high rate. In addition, we can surmise that all truths are lies. Dealing then with the task of figuring out their degree of deception. So, I guess my insistence of unadulterated truth is a fallacy unto itself. Its nice to be given this truth, and I will process it accordingly.
