What is important in this view is not absolute truth, probably inaccessible at our level of development, but the search for truth. In the same way, there is no absolute beauty, but a shared yearning for beauty; no absolute good, but a shared striving after goodness. . . . To me, the main message should be one of tolerance for others, and of humility for oneself. | |||
