"The first meaning of true and false appears to have originated in the stories, and it was a story telling the truth, when the fact was told actually happened; false, when the fact was told came nowhere. Later, philosophers have used the word to denote the agreement of an idea with its object, so-called true idea that something like that shows she is in itself, is false, which shows one thing otherwise it really is. The ideas are not something that in fact stories or stories of nature in mind. And then we came to designate the same way, metaphorically, of inanimate things, so when we say the real gold or fake gold, like gold, which is presented to us told something on itself, what is or is not in him.
