What is the Truth in life?

Its often times so easy to get lost while traveling down this material world we call life. Distractions from truth abound the moment we're born. When I go off on one of my philosophical ramblings with a friend, and i bring about the inevitable subject of Truth, two questions are asked: what is Truth? and how do i find Truth? To understand these questions better, its best to understand the framework in which most people attempt to answer them. In the material world (the all encompassing world around us) we discern things through our 5 senses. Using all, some, or combinations of the 5, we interpret the world. Its through this process, and in combination with the ego, that we begin to develop what we perceive the world to be. Imagine life, as the Matrix, your plugged in and dialed up. From the moment you perceive your existence into the dream, u begin to grow immediately fond of it. This is continually reinforced by the interpretations that you make using your senses. You begin to give things value, and begin to judge what is good and what is bad. By the time we exit childhood we have set the foundation for the basis of the dream. If at first we weren't entirely sure about this life, we quickly at a young age, became sure through our interpretations of what was around us. As we age we continue to have our initial interpretations of this life reinforced by the events and people in our lives. These events and people are devoid of any inherent reality, but by this point most people have bought so much into the dream that we begin to assign value and judgment to these people and events. We begin to identify certain people as friends, others as neutral, and still others as enemies. This is the beginning of our blindness to Truth and the start of our path down a difficult and tumultuous life. A life marked with highs and lows, good times and bad. As we progress in life and become adults we start to assign value not only to the people we meet, but to the things we undergo in life. Things and people become good and bad, right and wrong, and soon we develop a convenient box to fit our framework in. This is the problem when trying to see truth. The reason why truth is so difficult to see is because Truth is obscured by our interpretations of all that is around us. In fact it is our very mind that keeps us from seeing Truth, and this is why wisdom alone, knowledge, cannot bring about Truth. You cant learn Truth, or find Truth. Truth is. Truth always has been and always will be.
