What is truth? |

Are “facts” truth? Are “laws” based on truth? Can truth be measured? Can it be counted? Truth is stranger than fact. It lives beyond laws never to be found in sweeping promises or grandiose pronouncements. Truth is a light in dark places; a mantle of experience; a compendium of understanding; the radiance of compassion. Truth is the lie that saves the innocent life yet remains untarnished in the exchange. Truth is never found among the hypocrites but can walk as comfortably with kings as with paupers. Truth: how few know thy beautiful face! [This message has been edited by WindWalker (05-01-2006 02:14 AM).] |

Excellent write WindWalker. My dad always said the truth is a rabbit in a briar patch. |
