the love of truth

Truth means seeing what exceeds the possibility of seeing, what is intolerable to see, and what exceeds the possibility of thinking.

--Alphonso Lingis, 'Reticence' in Trust.

That's why one cannot but love and seek it incessantly, in all its multiplicity, unpredictability, pain and exhilaration, however high the cost.

No evasions, no lies, no masks.
