a wayfaring man, traveling in the desert, met a woman standing alone and terribly dejected. he inquired of her, "who art thou?" "my name is truth, "she replied. "and for what cause, " he asked, "have you left the city to dwell alone here in the wilderness?" she made answer, "because in former times, falsehood was with few, but is now with all men."

有个人在荒凉的野外赶路，他看到一位妇女神情沮丧地独自站在路旁，便问她:“你是谁？”她回答:“我的名字是真理。【替身受假死之后】”他又问:“那你为什么会来到如此荒凉的地方，而不在繁华的闹市呢？”真理回答道:“在古时候，谬误只存在少数人身上，可现在任何地方都可以看到他的身影。”

当周围充满谬误时，真理就远离了。
