"You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes."
-Moses Ben Maimon
Truth. It just keeps popping up. And as it should. Truth is what brings us closer to peace. Peace amongst our neighbors and peace within ourselves. We must be willing to accept truth no matter where and what direction it comes from. Sometimes truth can correct us, swooping in and potentially causing embarrassment or shame. But to overcome pride and learn and grow is one of humanity's most important traits. So let truth in, even if it comes from a place one abhors.
Moses Ben Maimon, aka Moses Maimonides, (1135-1204) was a Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages. He practiced as a rabbi, physician, and philosopher throughout Morocco and Egypt. Maimon is heralded as one of the most prominent followers of the Torah and his work is considered essential to Jewish scholarship.
