(My fanhood and fascination with the idea of truth continues. Older entries here, here, here and here.)
There are two kinds of people.
A: Those who believe there is indeed a truth, and that it's the only thing that's constant.
and
B: Those who think truth is somehow flexible, who say things like "Everyone has their own truth, and this is his truth and that is your truth", and those who sometimes will totally backtrack on their earlier declarations, and stand for something entirely at odds with their old stand while not admitting that the earlier stance was somehow wrong or misguided or false or just a lie but will rather protect it with statements like "that was the truth of last month and this is the truth of today".
It's only a subset of those who belong to the former group who will ever be willing to die for the truth. And it's only some out of those who'd be willing to die for the truth, that will make the world a better place.
You are one of A or B. And you always know who you really are. There's no fooling oneself.
