There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisi

Summary

This quote suggests that truth and lies are contrasting entities. Truth is said to be indivisible, implying that it is absolute and cannot be compromised or altered. The quote further implies that those who seek to identify truth may inadvertently become carriers of lies because truth itself cannot acknowledge or recognize its own existence. Therefore, one must be cautious when attempting to discern truth, as it is suggested that the search for truth may lead one down a path of deception.
