A quotation by Max Born was posted on my Facebook wall in response to another posted quote by Elvis Presley who said, "Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away." Max said, "The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world." As long as men and women have pondered Life, the question: What is Truth? has been at the core of our existence. Of all the creatures on earth, I believe only humans ask this question. Whenever one's "truth" becomes a dogmatic meme that makes everyone wrong that sees a different truth, intolerance ensues, often leading to violence and war. This is not about eating, or religion, or any other polarized idea, it is about an attitude, which, when don't adjust it, we destroy ourselves.
