Everybody interacts with one another and when honesty is neglected‚ problems tend to arise‚ controversies spark like a match.

Attitude to truth and falsehood Truth is what we always expect and respect. We like the truth but sometimes abhor it when it is distressing. The opposite of truth is falsehood.
