		<description>Hi Nic, I read your post about the impossibility of proving the truth of a books content, and I agree. I believe that we as a specie do not know the truth of anything; we say- yes we do, but truth is only that which we know about something in the moment.
Authors should always attempt to state their findings as their opinion or their own truth and not a new world truth. 

To gain "truth" is a term one cannot realistically use, we "try" to understand would be a better term. People should look at or read books to help them create a broader perspective on life or about the specific subject they are studying. To create a broader perspective is a form or tool which can help us to strive towards peace, whether we will ever achieve world peace is an open question, and might ultimately depend on the literacy of the world community as a whole, and then that literacy should be of global value and not restricted to the vision of one or more visionaries from a limited group of countries. It should also not be that of all the world leaders, but be an effort from all walks of life, to achieve this would possibly take another couple of milleniums due to the fact that we as human sapiens do not take new ideas easily. 

Gladly there are groups around this beautifull blue planet trying to make people more aware of their dependance on all others living here, all we can do is giving such groups all the support they deserve. This blog of yours is one of them, keep up the good work.
