Truth, as you are using the word, implies something which is absolutely, incontrovertably true. Something everyone would regard as self-evident.

The difficulty is that no one is capable of complete objectivity.

And, the sorts of things which one might point to as truth cannot be proven beyond all shadow of doubt.

This does not negate the worth of truth/truths as objectives or ideals, but we only know truth from a limited (fallibly human) perspective.

And pursuing truth is still a valid goal--as long as (IMHO) we understand no one knows anything for absolute sure.

peace and love,
Paper Turtle
