This depends a great deal on the individual person. Also, idealism and truth may well have different levels of significance for a given person.
For me, the only place where idealism really comes into play is in my dealings with my family. I am absolutely idealistic when dealing with my parents demand , What I mean by that is that I try to do what I think is right, not what I think is convenient.
As for truth, I do value telling the truth in all important things. I do not really think that it is important to tell the absolute truth all the time, but I do think you should always tell the truth to important people on important subjects.
This question is about "The Monkey’s Paw"
Answer:
To emphasize the mystical power of the rabbit's paw, as there are many legends about animals and mysticism in India.
Explanation:
India is a land with many legends and many stories involving mysticism and animals. This was built mainly due to the cultural and religious characteristics of India that ended up creating a stereotype about the "magical" objects that are created there. Thus, when the author places the Whites visitor as a military man who was in India and brought with him a magical object, the author imposes credibility on that object and on the visitor's words.
