Truth?

Truth is not in that which can be demonstrated. If orange trees put down firm roots and bear fruit in one piece of ground and not in another, that piece of ground is truth for orange trees. If a particular religion, culture, scale of values and pattern of activities encourage that sense of fulfilment in man, liberating within him a lord who was oblivious to his own sovereignty, then that culture, that scale of value and those activities are the truth of man. And logic? Let it cobble together what explanation it can for life.
