And....what do you think of this ?

"I have seen several entirely sincere people who THOUGHT they were (permanent) Seekers after Truth. They sought diligently,persistently, carefully, cautiously, profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment--until they believed that without doubt or question they had found the Truth. THAT WAS THE END OF THE SEARCH.

The man spent the rest of his life hunting up shingles wherewith to protect his Truth from the weather. If he was seeking after political Truth he found it in one or another of the hundred political gospels which govern men in the earth; if he was seeking after the Only True Religion he found it in one or another of the three thousand that are on the market.
In any case, when he found the Truth HE SOUGHT NO FURTHER; but from that day forth, with his soldering-iron in one hand and his bludgeon in the other he tinkered its leaks and reasoned with objectors."

From "What is man" by Mark Twain.

Hmm. Well, I enjoy a great deal of Mark Twain's more comedic writings. In this instance he is correct. Truth is subject to the shifting sands of time. Truth is subjective to the one who perceives it, and Truth be told, there may be more than one Truth.
