Truth-Viewing

My father the philosophy professor taught me this:

Having the answers is not so important. What matters is asking good questions.

When I stop asking questions, that’s when you’ll know I am dead.

I learned this by myself:

The truth about truth is that it changes over time. The proper device for truth-viewing is neither a microscope nor a telescope, nor even a periscope. It’s a kaleidoscope.

After looking for some time through the kaleidoscope of Zen, I saw this:

Truth is not a treasure dug out of the earth. Truth is the shovel. Truth is the act of digging. Truth is the digger.

And this is my opinion:

No single mind can encompass the truth; even the greatest mind is too small. But certain failure is no reason to abandon the search. The thirst for truth is blessedness itself.
