Truthfulness is a civilizational virtue ingrained in human beings. A civilisation, not every civilisation, does this in degrees to people who live within its fold. It does this to people, but not all people become capable of knowing and upholding truthfulness. At this level, in an enabling ambience made of civilisation, truthfulness is an endeavour of a social unit like a family, a community, or an individual.
Biological human beings can upgrade themselves into truthful human beings through elaborate arrangements and personal efforts.
Working truths at the existential level within a civilizational fold are very personal affairs. First, a person is mentored and makes efforts to be a knower of truths, and then that turns out to be a very simple virtue: a person knows from their heart what is a truth. A heart speaks the truth if the mind is sufficiently trained.
Finally, truthfulness is a behavioural trait. A truthful person cares.
