The Absolute Truth

"Nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. This is God's attribute alone. Relative truth is all we know. Therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. Such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray."-Mahatma Gandhi

the Divine condition

Somebody named Kelley Kelsey from South Bend, Indiana, has written, "Some of the greatest literature, art, and music that the world has known has been conceived in moments of profound loneliness, loneliness that has been accepted and allowed to speak. Such creation cannot happen through denial. And such creation is usually a lonely and solitary experience."

I wonder - was it God's loneliness that prompted him to create the universe, to create us? If so, how profound that loneliness must be. How profound.
