The Truth; the Whole Truth; And Anything But the Truth

All "truth" is fundamentally prejudice. That is, Absolute Truth — being perfect and infinite — is unknowable by the imperfect and finite mind of man.

Therefore, what is "true" for me may be untrue for you; and what is "true" for you may be untrue for me, and neither of us is in any position to judge the other except according to our prejudices.

In other words, what some people want to call "The Search for Truth" is actually nothing more than a contest of egos.
