To Mikael and the Bear

Regardless of whether truth is absolute or relative, and quite apart from the fact that many of us constantly seek it, in the end it is still hidden from almost all of us. As a rule out of necessity, and if for no other reason out of concern for those who wouldn’t understand anyway. There is no law of public access with regard to the truth. We have a practical problem that we have to solve, and it’s no more difficult than that.
