If something is inherently good/true it will stand by it's own characteristics and not need others who prove them though often they need others to teach others.

That sounds pretty naive. At many points in history, what we now consider good and true were by no means widely accepted and had to be actively fought for. I'm pretty sure many people thought slavery was a good thing at one time and that women were inferior to men.
- kamaal 15y agoVery true, Actually vast majority of people can never tell the difference between perceived truth and the actual truth.
- dorian-graph 15y agoPerhaps naive if someone focuses on the first part on the sentence and not the latter half and the second sentence. I assume too my understanding of what truth is to vary from what I suppose I would refer to as a 'common' understanding. People discover truth and until they do they often act in ways that do not align with truth hence, slavery and so on. Some people still think slavery is good and that women are inferior to men.
