Should I defend myself or defend the Truth?, A Human Strategy, Matt Berry, aphorism 289

289

Should I defend myself or defend the Truth?  I am the captain with one foot in each of two boats and it is my chief task to persuade, convince, threaten, cajole my separate crews to remain coordinated ... keep the course true so that I am not forced into one boat at the expense of the other.  *

A: But the truth never strays!

B: Which truth?  There are ‘truths’ that take you away from yourself just as there are ‘truths’ that bring you back.
