Great talk about TRUTH!

What is truth?

One of the central focuses of Vanguard is the earnest pursuit of truth.  I stumbled across this gem of a talk that covers it beautifully: 

Dieter Uchtdorf talks about TRUTH

(It says it is 55 or so minutes long, but, with the introduction and ending by others, the actual talk is only 30 minutes long...it was engaging enough that I listened to it twice with lots of distractions and still loved it!)
 
In it, Elder Uchtdorf says: "The thing about truth is that it exists beyond belief. It is true even if nobody believes it."

A few other tantalizing gems:

Part of the reason for poor judgment comes from the tendency of mankind to blur the line between belief and truth. We too often confuse belief with truth, thinking that because something makes sense or is convenient, it must be true. Conversely, we sometimes don’t believe truth or reject it—because it would require us to change or admit that we were wrong. Often, truth is rejected because it doesn’t appear to be consistent with previous experiences.

He then gives a couple of fantastic examples in history and in the scriptures where people rejected truth for the above reasons...examples that can really hit close to home!

Excellent and a must-read for those open-minded enough to pursue truth! :)
