"Life … is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful," ..



Everyday we are exposed to new information which challenges our own pre-exisiting ideas.

Today at ACH's Grand Round we were told that the majority of HIV patient in New Zealand these days have no risk factors for contracting HIV. I didn't know about that before.

On the otherhand, this piece in the Sydney Moring Herald echoed deeply with my thought process at the moment.

"Life … is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful," the Pope told the pilgrims at the Hungry Mile last week. "It is to this end that we make our choices; it is for this that we exercise our freedom."

Miranda also pointed out that "Living in an era when faith and reason, art and mathematics, were inextricably linked, Renaissance artists would regard modern relativistic notions of beauty as ludicrous."
