These maxims will sound “dangerously simple,” per some (pseudo-)intellectual types, but I believe these are the best ways of orienting oneself in life:
Truth is discovered, not created; truth exists independently of our minds.
We must find truth and align ourselves with it; we must not believe we can bend knowledge or reality to our will.
There are truths about right and wrong.
We must strive to find, and to follow, the truths about right and wrong.
I have found good evidence for any of all of above. I believe them to be factually, empirically correct. I have never found reliably good outcomes from ignoring the above. I have tended to experience better outcomes by following the above.

I absolutely agree. One gets the same results when substituting "truth" with "morality".
Interesting. Strangely enough, we see so many who insist that there is no "Truth" but merely a collection of "truths".
Dan,
Another comment aborted due to the fact that I don't care if you agree with this or not, and I have little patience for straw men.
I find it interesting to think that if Truth exists independently, and must be found and aligned with, why would anyone limit the places where Truth might be found? Why would anyone arbitrarily limit the publication of Truth to only a few sources? Why would one assume that certain outlets, or media automatically do not contain Truth?
Why am I not surprised that Dan can't agree with the post?!?! Typical of the LEFT, truth to them is just subjective.
In an aborted comment, Dan says he completely agrees with the post. I'm not sure what he means by that, but that's what he said. Unfortunately Dan's comments are in moderation or are being aborted due to his inability to act like the reasonable person he claims to be.
