To tell the truth?
Modern PR people would say no as they deal in lies all day long and so feel that the truth is something they create to fit any given situation
In fact they would not know truth if it came and sat on their heads
So leaving aside modern cynicism and casual corruption of the truth
Truth at our level of consciousness is relative
Absolute truth is something we cannot approach at our level of consciousness
Tough but there it is
So relative truth is still pretty useful
Why?
Because amongst other things it allows us to function more comfortably
If you are always wondering about the truth of things you place stress on yourself
This over time will lead to health breakdown or other serious problems
To live with the truth of things requires that you know the truth about yourself otherwise you have no platform to work from
Knowing the truth about yourself needs an understanding of right and wrong
Morals and ethics
Simply stated the Christian ten commandments or the Buddhist eight precepts are fine and easy to understand
Both are taken from the teachings of the perennial or ancient wisdom
The perennial wisdom being the basis of all major religions and teachings
Once these are your chosen base point then truth is easier to find in any given situation
When you chose to live in truth it takes away one source of stress in life
A major one at that

Over the course of a lifetime truth will aid your journey through life
Not so easy as it requires courage and discipline
So yes maybe it is so hard, but the alternative is harder
Believe us it's the truth!
