"a guy is by no potential extra honest than while he recognizes himself a liar." Mark Twain, 11/30/1835 - 04/21/1910 US author "All truths are hassle-free to understand while they're chanced on; the ingredient is to locate them." Galileo Galilei, 02/15/1564 - 01/08/1642 Italian astronomer, certainty seeker, and physicist "while certainty isn't something however the certainty, it truly is unnatural, it truly is an abstraction that resembles no longer something contained in the actual international. In nature there are continuously a great form of different beside the point issues blended up with the essential certainty." Aldous Huxley, 07/26/1894 - 11/22/1963 English critic & novelist be certain for your self.

There are certainly some interesting answers to this question. And I agree with many of them to a certain extent.
> The truth certainly matters to me. And, Yes, I do care if I am told the truth.
> I feel strongly that, in matters that are my concern, ie: relationships, health, concerns that affect my ability to function or make informed decisions, areas that I call entitlement, truths strengthen me and lies/deception/withholding of entitled information are an assault on my human rights.
> I give the example of Love Canal - the homes built on a toxic waste dump site. Buyers/homeowners had the right to know that little tidbit, yet the information was deliberately withheld. People died; children; undorn babies. That little bit of truth withheld from people entitled to it . . .
> Truth matters.

I consider truth one of the most important things in life. But I always qualify that by saying, in the right circumstances. There is a very fine dividing line which one must cross occasionally especially when dealing with children. To answer some of the questions asked by young children with the truth could do everlasting damage, mentally to them. Questions about sex asked by ones own children have to be answered carefully depending on the age of the child. The same with 'the tooth fairy', Santa Clause and such. I would always tell 'white lies' in those circumstances when dealing with young children. Maybe I am a hypocrite, but I still consider myself one of the most honest people I know..................

Your statement is "Does the truth matter", and then you added why so there are two questions.
First of all, somebodys truth may be flawed and not all all correct.
Does his or her truth matter? Yes.
What if his or her observation was flawed and wrong, Does it still matter ? Yes. Basically to her or him
Seek your own truths. Those will be the ones that matter to you the most.

of course i care if i am told the truth or a lie....i have never seen the purpose of lieing to anyone...if you are doing something that you will have to lie about then why are you doing it? I have told my kids that they will be in alot less trouble if they tell me the truth for doing something wrong than to lie to me and me find out cause now they are in trouble for both and get twice the punishment!!!!
If you have to lie about something it isn't worth doing it!!! Noone will ever believe you when you finally do tell the truth!!!

yes , because when a person tells you the truth it shows that they care enough to be truthful w/ you instead of just making up anything, plus the more truthful you are the more a person will trust your words.

The truth matters in all things. Otherwise there would be no informed choices. Nothing would have meaning.

Yes, it matters. If you don't know the truth (or don't want to know the truth) then you spend the rest of your life being an ignorant ***. Of course, if you don't mind being an ignorant ***, then I guess it wouldn't matter to you.

"What then is truth? A movable host of metaphors, metonymies, and; anthropomorphisms: in short, a sum of human relations which have been poetically and rhetorically intensified, transferred, and embellished, and which, after long usage, seem to a people to be fixed, canonical, and binding. Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions- they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins." -- Friedrich Nietzsche

You need the truth. Your life depends upon it. Don't take things for granted.
