In Looking At Comments
...in this post, I see that I need to write an essay titled "Why Diogenes' Search Is Futile, And Why It Doesn't Matter."
So much to do, so little time. And I should note, that the man himself knew that his search was futile. Of course, some will inevitably argue that this fable is more about human nature than about whether or not truth exists. And they may be right.

I always thought, at least for me, that the point was that the only truth there is, is your own. Diogenes was looking for what HE thought HE had all along, in someone else.

There are trivial truths and the great truths. The opposite of a trivial truth is plainly false. The opposite of a great truth is also true.
