Who knows the exact truth? Maybe, that's the way the world deceives, by keeping the facts limited, and by keeping those who may hold the truth not reputable and uncertain. Could it be that distrust is confusion, an assumption that anyone could be telling the truth or not? Even those who tell the truth may be unsure or lied to about the event(s) they witnessed. Even the events witnessed at first hand! We have the power to lie. We could stage different things in reality, and sometimes better than movies' special effects. It's our own line of security. Forcing someone else's mind, if not body. It's how authorities stay in power, by manipulation. It's a worldwide deception, usually a conspiracy against each other. But what if authority is manipulated by a higher order for its own means? Worse case scenario, the manipulated is unaware (and that's how it's suppose to work) that it is being manipulated!
With great power comes greater need for security. It seems as great as any treasure-power-in form of position, knowledge or ownership. In power, there tends to be superiority, which leads to manipulation. Subordination of those without that power, and in need of it. If not through servitude, one can make that same power to have it, though usually it is tough, otherwise anyone else could have had it easily as everyone else. Then, there is no power there. Another way to acquire the power is by taking it. You can play with the owner to give it to you without any hesitationat all. You can steal it, take it by force. Because of these, owners will be needing security. Security by force is limited to human physicality and range. Lies, simulations, and half-truths (through play of words and facts) can be used in large scale. Although it can be discovered by someone or some group capable of critical analysis, if there is any logical or illogical reason. But would he be able to trust these group of liecrackers, if we may assume they can be working for someone to pit that rival in power? Or if someone with power is labelled foully in the media, which is supposedly reputable and not biased, could we trust them if there's a possibility they're manipulated directly, by threat or money, or inderectly, by passing so-called "facts" and braodcasting it?
What if there are lies (and I believe there are) that are not meant to hide anything, just a vandalism of facts? What if the lie is a trick, and made to look like alie, but in actuality the truth, protected by exposing it in the obvious? Then, could we learn to trust again, when each of us is a potential medium to create a lie? How can we live, if we shall stay in the world of lies? Is there no truth to live for at all?
