Good Advice for All of Us

Post by Homer » Fri Apr 02, 2021 12:45 pm

From an article in the Washington Examiner about journalism and truth:
Even for those of us who are traditionalists, though, “truth” in the indivisible sense is not something to be lightly determined. Because humans are fallible, we must take great care, often with searching inquiry, before we pronounce something to be “the truth.” Truth is not merely an opinion but a near-sacred constant – but because it is in the realm of the sacrosanct, we should hesitate to claim it, lest we are unintentionally misguided or mistaken.
