Your question is very simple to solve for someone who has done enough real philosophy lol :) a lie is when you tell something differently than it is. the truth means "what exists as it is".
If you say that "it is difficult to find the truth", aside from the blatant subjectivity of your claim, then , if we believe your statement, then that itself must be a "truth". And yet you invalidate your own claim immediately by saying "different for different persons". Well, if that statement is true, then it invalidates itself as well.
You cannot disprove the existence of truth by using a system that relies on truth and falsehood.
You seem to have some misunderstandings about truth. Many truths are our understanding of real existence, not existence itself. Obviously, our understanding of complex things may be different, but complex things do exist.
For example, the movement of things exists, but Newton's understanding of this existence is different from Einstein's understanding of the same existence (or the movement of more things).
I don't think I said anything about the lack of existence of complexity. But all those complex things operate by one very simple, fundamental principle, and among other truths we call that principle The Truth. afaict this truth is called a law and it can be found through logical derivations and proven by contradiction. (It has been stated repeatedly by different philosophers in history.
By the way, you claim that the movement of things exists, but that is simply something you saw from your perspective without confirming the reality of that. Buddha would beg to differ given that according to him in scriptures, things were never born and don't decay etc.
If we assume that anything was actually born, then I say that it operates by the law of cause and effect, and the theory of repetition. These two laws create all phenomena and all other laws aiui. they're very simple.
And there is a difference between complexity of structures, and a given persons difficulty in understanding it. I do get the impression that you know this, but my point is that even what we call complex could be of the same difficulty to comprehend for someone who can see the universe whole. "for a real master of philosophy there is no difference in the difficulty of questions."
if you still believe that I'm missing your point please tell me again, so we can confirm.
