Why does one pursue the truth? And how does one do it?

Maybe I don't understand this.
But one usually pursues the truth to find out answers. And how they do it well, isn't that depending on their situation?

[karateorchid]

But why do they search for answers?

[illfated_irony]

Because, some people have questions about themselves, or other people or places. There isn't anything better than getting satisfaction to a question you've had be it for years or weeks.

[karateorchid]

Well, I suppose that's true...but what if the truth hurts?

[illfated_irony]

but they'll have an answer, won't they? And what hurts more, a wound that never heals or a wound that can - hopefully with time get better.

I'd rather want to know and hurt. Then hurt from the stress of wonder the rest of my life.

But that just doesn't seem right...

[illfated_irony]

What isn't right about it..? Life can't be perfect, isn't that the so-called beauty of it? All of it's flaws? The fact that we can still live on and possibly be happy even with a little bad?

[karateorchid]

But even with that, can't we live with a little peace, even for one second, one day?!

[illfated_irony]

Maybe finding answers brings peace.

Having questions means you're at unrest with something. Doesn't it?

[karateorchid]

...Not all the time.

[illfated_irony]

Maybe not but I think if you're going to spend time pursuing the truth; as you put it, one might be.
