The Truth About Truth

Allow me to refine my position on objectivity and truth seeking: A person doesn't find the truth through objective detachment, but by loving and passionately seeking the truth whatever it may be. Because of our pride we assume that we already know the truth, and so we find what we set out to seek. We turn history, or whatever it is we are studying, into a mirror that reflects our worldview. A person who loves the truth also likes to learn the truth, which often means admitting he was wrong.

Loving the Truth

We don't discover truth through objective detachment. We discover truth by loving the Truth.
