To build our place in society, we create an illusion of who we are that we present to our friends, associates, co-workers etc. -- in many cases, different faces to different groups. Would society be improved if the absolute truth about each of us was known to everybody? Or is society built on what we all pretend to be, and would crumble without the multitude of carefully maintained lies?

I'm afraid that the absolute truth would destroy us all. Contrary to what some people believe - "truth" is counter-productive. It's the hiding of the "truth" that gets us from point "A" to point "B".
