Although seeking out the truth is important, what we do with it once we find it is just as important.
Will we simply file away what we learn, but ultimately do nothing with this knowledge? Will we go into denial and refuse to receive it when it doesn’t match up with our desires? Or will we take action upon what we now know, regardless of the difficulty or pain that doing so may bring?
In some ways, it would be better to not seek out the truth, than to do so and then either ignore it or reject it.
