I have to disagree. Everything is a double-edged sword upon which we impale ourselves; every success a failure or error and every error or failure a success and the truth is imbedded in this simple statement in complex form of figuring out how it applies to each person and each situation as we all go through our shared lives in this divine comedy. We are all of us just stepping stones to greater, with a penultimate to ultimate pinnacle of truth, i.e., we can only get so high, or so depraved, or so far through a forest or desert before we start coming out the other side.
I realised that my conception of truth mirrors the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle: instead of e.g. the more precisely you measure position the less precisely you can measure momentum and vice versa, it’s the more close to reality you are the less precise truth can be, and the more true your statements are able to be the less close they able to be to reality.
