One truth is that there may be no absolute truth. Working towards truth means coming to terms with what is true for you. Striving for perfection is a process in which you pass through subjective truths. We don't know if there is a final answer to everything, some people think it's 42 and are trying to find the question.

Striving for truth is like growing in Go. You will probably never know the perfect way to play. So you have to make do with patterns that work and keep searching for deeper truth by playing outside your comfort zone.

If you aim to win, you don't learn much. But if you aim to grow, you become stronger and the wins just happen automagically.
