The correct preposition is sometimes context-dependent. Could you please write a few sentences where you need to use "verity of" or "verity about"? That way we have a better idea how to answer your question.

- As for "discourage" and "underestimate", they are completely different concepts, so you can use either one as long as you are saying what you mean!
- To discourage is to cause someone to lose courage, to lose spirit or morale.

I would use "truth" instead of "verity" in most cases, and "verities" sounds better in some contexts, but the following seem acceptable to me.
I want to express the verities of this world.
I want to express the truth about this world.
It's not an exact answer, but maybe others will contribute their opinions.
