Article "a" or "the" ?

Hi everybody!

Why do we always use an indefinite article "a" before the word lie while necessarily definite article "the" before the word truth?
Thanks a million!

We don't always do that, Carol, but it often happens because there is only one true condition in a situation but many false ones: I am 20 years old I am 30 years old I am 40 years old I am 50 years old
