    What is the Truth?

    This topic could be discussed forever. Will we all agree? I doubt it.

    "Even a little arrogance is too much" and Hashem

    Can't coexist with him. BUT, we also say that a Talmud chocham must have an eighth of an eighth of arrogance? (Kovod for the position not for the person?)

    If "tsfas ha'emes" is the "edge of truth", what

    Is the meaning that whereas most Egytians were drowned in the midst of the sea (b'toch hayam"), some were tossed onto the "tsfas" i.e. the edge of the sea, i.e. the seashore (where perhaps they didn't drown right away?

    If Emes is the ultimate, how come

    We see that Sarah imaynu lied about laughing,  Aaron Hacohen lied about sholom, etc. ?

      Maybe emet

      is not always the ultimate. Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler redefined "truth" to mean any statement which serves God and "falsehood" to mean any statement that harms God's interests. Again this could be subjective, depending on the person's perception of what really is the truth.
