Plato: The Republic
Then, I said, the business of us who are the founders of the State will be to compel the best minds to attain that knowledge which we have already shown to be the greatest of all-they must continue to ascend until they arrive at the good; but when they have ascended and seen enough we must not allow them to do as they do now.
What do you mean?
I mean that they remain in the upper world: but this must not be allowed; they must be made to descend again among the prisoners in the den, and partake of their labours and honours, whether they are worth having or not.
Will we ever find the truth? Maybe we allready know the truth!

So what do you think about it? Do you like such a plan and if you do would you be willing to be one of those enlightened ones? Maybe you have your own plan how to discover Truth or maybe you know how to improve this plan? I would really want to hear your opinion.

Have you put any thought into what you've done. You just gave it away. Now you and your ip address could never be apart of it. Just saying that on a site like this asking for a target to be stamped on your back unless you have an agenda isn't the best way to do it.

Truth about why we are here, what is the meaning of life. It is my personal belief that there is only one Truth. For example earlier people believed that our planet is flat but now with our scientific achievements we know for sure how our planet looks. I think that it has to be the same with Truth. That there is only one answer to such questions as why we are here and where do we come from.
