In June of 1978 Aleksander Solzhenitsyn delivered the Commencement Address to the graduating class of Harvard University. In the opening segment of his speech Mr. Solzhenitsyn touched on Harvard's motto.
"Harvard's motto is 'Veritas.' Many of you have already found out and others will find out in the course of their lives that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate with total attention on its pursuit."
I am in complete agreement with Mr. Solzhenitsyn regarding the elusiveness of truth, and the fact that its attainment will take both our effort and our complete attention.
We live in a very complicated and noisy world, in which truth has become even more difficult to attain. It is my desire to use this blog in the pursuit of truth.
