The Pursuit of Truth


By Steve Dayton
Jan. 7, 2008


The true value of a man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth.  It is not possession of the Truth, but rather the pursuit of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectibility is to be found.  Possession makes one passive, indolent, and proud.  If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.

Gotthold Lessing

Goodbye, denizens of Useless-Knowledge.  May the road rise up to meet you.   May the wind always be at your backs.   May the sun shine warm upon your faces, and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
