Hi,
"R' Simon said: When Gd came to create Adam, the ministering angels formed groups, some saying he should not be created and some saying he should be created… Chesed said he should be created for he performs kindnesses, Truth said he should not be created because he is entirely of lies, Justice said he should be created for he performs acts of justice, Shalom said he should not be created beause he is entirely of quarrels.
"What did Gd do? He took Truth and cast it to the ground, as it is written, 'And You cast truth to earth.'"
(Midrash, Bereishit Rabbah 8:5)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
