The truth said in many ways but summarized as "we/you/I are nothing!"

The truth about what? If you mean what's behind it all - or - what are we here for? There are as many interpretations as there are individuals.

The banal definition is truth is in accordance with observable fact.

The esoteric one is it's unique to individuals. Collectively people come up with
the term to share a general, top level of what it might be but our experience (which is when it arises) will differ in details most of which we can't describe.

It's one of those words.....like "love" and "hate". There's no one-size-fits-all.

The truth is relative to one's own agenda and when expressed it becomes a lie because it is no longer the truth.

Take what resonates with you as your own truth, forget the rest because it is not for you.

You think you are nothing? That's an interesting belief.

I've observed the opposite: that human life is extraordinarily meaningful. And that eternal soul is everything; it is Spirit, manifest. That is my interesting belief.

Let's at least differentiate between expressing "This is my truth" versus "This is the truth." The former is the (relative) truth, the latter the "lie" as you put it. Otherwise there would be no point in simple communication and sharing thoughts. Every time we opened our mouth we'd be lying.

The Tao that can be spoken is not the Tao.
The name that can be named is not the name.

I could launch into a whole thing about 'Truth' being 'Brahman' or 'Satchitananda'...tried that once in the Non-Duality forum, but the pedantic, hair-splitting guys who live there even took issue with that.

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥


Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate
Puurnnasya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate ||
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||

Meaning:
1: Om, That (Outer World) is Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Purna (Full with Divine Consciousness); From Purna comes Purna (From the Fullness of Divine Consciousness the World is manifested) ,
2: Taking Purna from Purna, Purna Indeed Remains (Because Divine Consciousness is Non-Dual and Infinite).
3: Om Peace, Peace, Peace.
