Truth is the basis, you're absolutel right.
Nothing can be built on lie. Nothing good I mean.
You ask your readers how important truth is in their life... For me it's just everything. I can't move on if I feel false and lie. JUst can't. Maybe sometimes I should, or even I would like to, but I can't.
And I can't forgive people even small lie. Forgiveness is great thing, but I can't trust if I felt lie just once. That'w why I have just a couple of people with whom I can connect in offline life, people are used to lie...

Many countries forbid having weapon for self-protection? It was news for me..I thought it is normal and common for all people to have such a right.
