Comfort vs Truth
When seeking a wife, most men choose Comfort. She makes a good wife. She's from solid midwestern stock. Comfort is homely, sure, and She's not terribly interesting, and She's a little plump, but She is always there. She always tells you She loves you and that everything will be just fine. She never challenges your thoughts or makes you think too much. She tells you things that make you feel good, like what you believe is just exactly right. Comfort cares. With Comfort you are always right. You never have to change your mind at all. If someone challenges you she just says they are just trying to drive her away. She will never leave you.
Unless you go seeking after Truth.
But some foolhardy men do seek after Truth anyway. No one can make a wife of Truth. She will only allow you to admire her beauty. And She IS beautiful. But She is a cold, cold hearted bitch. Truth will never hold you, or tell you everything is fine. She could not care the least if what She tells you hurts your feelings or scares you. And it almost always does. She constantly challenges your ideas and forces you to change them if you would stay close to Her. And whenever you think you are beginning to understand Truth, She reveals something new which changes everything. With Truth you aren't right very often. Making a mistress of Truth is never peaceful. All you will ever have is fleeting glimpses of Her beauty, and even that not for very long. When you get old, and your mind begins to go, and you can no longer fully appreciate Her beauty anymore, She will mock you, and She will leave you. Alone. Afraid.
And worse, she will have spoiled you for Comfort.
Because after all, Comfort isn't Truth.
