Objective truth constitutes the one, urgent, steadfast and universal currency for human interaction. In its absence there can be no trust or arbitration, no reason, peace, harmony or stability, no honor, morals, justice, candor, argument or legitimacy, friendship, marriage, balance, safety, law or reparation, respect, character, morals, mastery, grace or equanimity–just lies, doubt, suspicion, alienation and chaos, the gnarled roots of fear, strife, hatred and slaughter.

Lies and slander skew the system exponentially.

Without truth man is morally bankrupt, doomed to disarray, undone, incurable, maddened by distrust, borne lastly and inexorably backward to the labyrinthine vaults of iniquitous Babel.

♣ Those who muddle truth soon inhabit that hell they took for heaven, short the wherewithal to lobby reform, shorn the means with which to barter relief.
