It means whatever you need it to mean. What has your culture told you is
the case? Some days that pattern of perception works, some days it seems
impossible that you ever thought such a thing. Just depends on how things
are rolling. Is there truth? Of course there's truth, there's just no way
for us to know that what we want to be truth at any particular is THE truth
or just another color.
Right now I know this to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Whatever that means.

Well, I'll combine the quest into one.
After all, Monty Python do have a film, "The meaning of life" -- not the
best songs, though.
I think that while Jones is possibly a nihilist, Eric Idle isn't, so we
can't easily generalise.
Cheers,
