Fish are the last ones to notice the water...
Uplift, if you ask people for their opinions and they take time out of their day to try to help you, then you should be respectful of their efforts, even if their particular answers didn't exactly fit for what you are looking for. Just say "Thanks. I'll consider that." and then move on.
I didn't read the whole thread, word-for-word, but did you already define "Truth"? It seems like you want your Truth to be
simultaneously wrapped up into a neat conceptual package and
also be all-encompassing and all-pervading, applying to every and all circumstances.
You have some great insights, and I mean that, but I think you are going about your search with the wrong mindset. It's probably better to be like Thomas Edison. He was grateful for every failure and dead-end he ran into because that just showed him what
would not work and left him with only what
would work. Personally, I think that it's great that you demand truth and won't settle for anything less. So perhaps every time someone tells you something about truth that doesn't fit your criteria of "Truth", just treat it as a sign that points you in the right direction. By moving beyond everything you come across that doesn't work or fit for you as "Truth", you will eventually find what will work and fit for you as "Truth".
