Summary

It implies that one cannot simply grasp the truth on their own terms; instead, truth has a way of revealing itself and having an impact on people. It highlights the idea that truth is a force more powerful than our attempts to manipulate it, and it ultimately confronts and affects us, rather than us having control over it.
