I think it's about the awareness!. A lie is a lie if you are aware it is!. So then yes, it is a truth if a person sees it as a truth!. The image that comes to mind is a relationship wherein one partner is cheating and the other partner is unaware!. The cheater knows the infidelity but the other does not!. So if you were to ask them are they in a faithful relationship, they would say yes, this would be their truth-even though it is a lie!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

To them its the truth because thats how they want it to be,at the same time they cant see its a lie as they are in denial of the reality of their life and you find they blame others if that normal state of theirs is rocked in any way!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

I know someone who lived a lie for 30yrs that being their marriage,and even when it had been over for years she blamed another for breaking up her happy marriage,se couldnt see it was only happy for her as everything had to be her way,she couldnt see that her husband and children where unhappy and depressed and even if they told her she didnt believe them as she was in denial and still is,I dont know if she will ever realise how she spent so much of her life living a lie no matter the proof you give her she still can see it,so yes for some it does become a truth!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is an interesting question!.

I believe that in a way it has become a truth, to themself!. But to the outside world it is still a lie!. I think the answer obviously varies from person to person, whether or not they value the opinion of their word more than the opinion of others!.

Words are just words, anyway!? Are concepts just concepts!? I hate trying to define words because every word has a million different meanings nowadays!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I lived in a state of being with a title and that title came with job descriptions!. The title and job could not exist for eternity without causing stagnation or death, because everything grows outward or inward!. Statues are made to mark a place where the title could not be more that it has been, then we move onward toward another title and job!.In that titled state i worked and lived what i could do until i could do no more to grow!.I have long lasting memories of references from the titles and the work!. No; I did not live a lie, I followed a growing pattern!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a theory that everything in reality is the way it is because enough people believe it to be such!.
I'm not sure I would go that far but I do believe that a person can convince themselves that things are a certain way in their lives even if they are not, necessarily!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say that it means they are living in an illusion, without realising it,and it stay a unknowing lie to the beholder!.until one day they are faced with the real truth, i think there life would be over!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth!. Is truth not then each person's interpretation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
