Hi, Truth can make its way through even the most illiterate one, but it's human ego which stops to realize it. It's hard to see a clear meaning here. I suggest that you say it in another way.

through even -> even through

Truth can make its way even to the most illiterate, but it's human ego that hinders/stops from realizing it. (or hinders the realizing of it)

«...ego comes in the way and stops us to accept it as true even if someone is completely sure about its truthness.»

Isn't it self-deception? Or doublethink?

Hi Jackson,

Actually I want to say that truth does not need any proof to prove itself true. But in many circumstances human ego comes in the way and stops us to accept it as true even if someone is completely sure about its truthness.

This is better than your first attempt. I suggest

Truth does not need any proof. But often, human ego get

«Truth does not need any proof»

Even the most illiterate people can understand truth, but it's human ego which stops to realize it.
