1.We have been trained from young to always speak the truth. We have been taught from young that the truth would always prevail. We are safe if we always seek refuge in the truth.
2.The Geek philosophers were interested in nothing but the truth. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are well known for their endless search for the truth. Socrates found the truth in the Definition. Plato found the truth in the heavenly Forms. Aristotle found the truth in the Substance.
3.The religious teachers found the truth in God.
4.The politicians want us to see only the truth and nothing else.
5.Growing up and living in the environment of truth we naturally become part of it. We never think of moving out of the place because we never know that there exists a place called outside.
6.In fact, the sceptics are existing side by side with the truth seekers. If we are lucky we may meet philosophy and philosophy would help us to meet the sceptics.
7.The sceptics would attack the very foundation on which the truth seekers stand: the senses. Once senses are being questioned, it becomes impossible to decide the controversy. There would be no judge left to decide the controversy. Senses can not be the judge because they are also parties to the controversy.
8.The Illusion, the hidden rival of the Truth, has finally been revealed by philosophy. While the Truth would sometimes make us lose confidence,the Illusion on the contrary would always bring us confidence. The Illusion could also help us to think out of the box.
