Truth itself."

     Platt I had a miscommunication in the last post
of mine.  This is the quote I was looking at.  Notice
how arete is highest honor, subordinate to Truth. 
Honor does not necessarily correlate with truth.  To
honor the devil, by devil worshipers, is an honor for
lies and untruths.  Honor can lead one in any
direction, yet, truth defines and answers the
question, "Where's the target I'm shooting at?"
     Wouldn't you think Pirsig would agree with that? 
We all muddy the waters at times.  I depend on those
that try to clarify as the sky and notice the whole
picture, not just a small cultural one.
