Truth

Truth grants no inalienable right to assume anything. That is its burden. Because if it's only proof that makes real, then most of life's stories must be perceived as illusory OR consciously/unconsciously aquiesced to as reality.

E.g. when The Bible (paraphrasing) says: Be steadfast and vigilant, I'm not at all convinced it means - be a prepper (Render Unto Caesar...). And I know in my heart it can't mean: Be the last 63 year old man standing... I mean, who would ever want to be the oldest Omega Man?
