Truth is not eternal. It just sounds kinda funky and wise to say that. But you know it's not true...(snicker snicker)

Truth is ambiguous and amorphous as all fuck, and if you don't like that, tough shit; you gotta examine why. Because your Truth is not my Truth, nor is it her Truth. There is no one Truth, except for the fact that truth is ambiguous and amorphous, and you can't generalize for "A single Truth" that works for everyone, one-size-fits-all-Truth ain't gonna happen. You'll never find it. And you know why that's true.

I didn't mean for this post to become a lecture...Maybe I should have just stuck with my first brief reaction, which was ...

"So what?"

The point was indeed that we all have our Truth, and, in context - it's a response to Potentiometer's quote. Yes, there is no One True Way, but there are people who are keeping their head by sticking firmly to the Truth as they know it and not letting a little thing like 'facts' interfere. *smile* We seem to all have our own eternal Truths, don't we?
