Summary

This quote suggests that those who understand the complexity and vastness of truth tend to approach it with a sense of humility and flexibility. By "dealing lightly" with truth, they acknowledge that it cannot be fully captured or contained within any single perspective or belief. They recognize that truth is boundless and cannot be limited or completely understood by human intellect. Hence, they approach it with an open mind, always aware that there are multiple aspects and layers to uncover, and that their understanding will always be incomplete.
