A defining question

[tessa]

In life's wilderness,
Choked by the weeds of error -
Bloom of beauty: truth.

(Author not known)

Unknown author said it as true as true is.

All the philosophy's over my head, but I think it is commonly held that truth is "good" and, perhaps, beautiful.

I'll agree with the good part. Not sure if I can go with beautiful, though. I've seen some ugly truth. If it was truth...

i've told what is true to me...

I think somewhere therein lies the truth.

Speaking of assholes-

Many might consider that a truth.
