Yes ... "Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority." - Francis
Bacon -<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daughter_of_Time#cite_note-1>
Most of the time the truth is relative according to your own perception
of the facts.
For some God is the only truth, for others Love is the real truth. Some
says God is Love, others say Love is Kindness.
And all of them are right but none of them have the Truth because it is
an abstraction.

People are responsible to make their own choices.
It is like the relation between the teacher and the student.
The teacher can explain something to you, but he cannot understand it
for you.

I know, I agree with you.
Sometimes I just want to participate in a good conversation.

Thanks.
