Summary

This quote suggests that the pursuit of absolute truth is a lofty ambition that is ultimately unachievable. Instead, we are urged to accept that our understanding of truth will always be incomplete, fragmented, and imperfect. Despite our efforts to discover the fundamental and unifying answers, what we often find are mere fragments of truth. We are encouraged to find contentment in these partial truths, as they still hold value and contribute to our overall understanding of the world.

If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.
