Truth is very beautiful; more so, as I consider, than justice – today’s pursuit, which easily puts on a false face. In the nearly seven decades I have lived through, the world has overflowed with bloodshed and explosions whose dust has never had time to settle before others have erupted; all in purportedly just causes. The quest for justice continues, and the weapons and the hatred pile up; but truth was an early casualty.
(Malcom Muggeridge, Chronicles of Wasted Time: An Autobiography, “The Green Stick,” 19)
Do you agree?
