Truth v. Fact lthough the words truth and fact are sometimes used interchangeably, truths and facts are two very different things. Something can very well be true while not being factual.
Myths are examples of such truths.
While the standard of truth is much higher, truths do not necessarily have to correspond with provable facts. Speaking the facts and telling lies are both functions of vocal habits. If one has the habit of speaking factually, it is very difficult to tell a lie, meaning speak contrary to facts, and vice versa. If you start the fiery habit of lying, you may find it very difficult to one day cease lying and speak according to the known facts. Speaking truth, however, cannot be habituated because it is a function of intuition.
