No, the world just is, waiting to be identified.

There is nothing for man to do about the reality of existence other
than to identify, understand and then explain it, or accept it as
knowledge and without that knowledge or undrstanding of existence
containing contradiction.

The truth is only a man made concept requiring both, a specific
standard and a specific context.

If it conforms to reality then it is true, of that there is no doubt,
that seals the definition of truth beyond ambiguity.

However, the truth makes no requirement or obligation of any man to
always tell or always expect the truth.

In the context of human behaviour and human ideas and actions, then
telling expecting accepting embracing or rejecting the truth becomes a
moral issue.

However, because reality is the ultimate standard of the truth, then
in his moral choices, man will embrace the truth and or reject the
truth, at his peril, and the context of the situation, where that
judgement is to be applied, will determine either.

Taxation is based upon a lie, which is why its come home to bite man
on the arse.

When you remove responsibility from a human individual you
automatically create irresponsibility in that human individual,
society is made up of human individuals, and in a socialist society,
irresponsible uncaring parasitical human individuals and that is the
truth being ignored at man's peril.
