Why do we hate truth

Why do we hate the truth?  I mean we are taught to tell the truth.  In fact more often than not we learn from the examples our parents set for us.  So it becomes easy to tell white lies and we go to church and they do it there and we learn to slowly hate the truth.  I recently was introduced to 2 videos that state the Truth is small simple words that everyone can understand.  And the response to these videos was universally the same.  People posted as to why this man was so wrong in telling the Truth. Listening to a young man describe the difference Jesus and religion and state Truth. Because

See God speaks to us in so many ways and we are so busy with our lives and our worries that we forget to be still and listen to simple truth. And being still is what it is all about, just so we can hear that small still voice tell us the Truth. Funny thing is we don't want to hear it because that would mean we would have to stop lying to ourselves about ourselves. Or that we would have to challenge tightly held beliefs because it doesn't really jive with real Truth.  

Think about it like this.....real truth is ugly at first, because it makes us see the ugliness in us. But then it can transform us into something beautiful, majestic, inspiring if we just let it and we stop and listen.
