If we seek after the truth there are in Aristotelian guidelines and general principles at work
It is all-important to remember that practical or moral rules are only general and always admit of exceptions, and that they arise not from the mere complexity of the facts, but from the liability of the facts to a certain unpredictable variation. At their very best, practical rules state probabilities, not certainties; a relative constancy of connection is all that exists.
But it is enough to serve as a guide in life? Well, my advice to 'lefties' is read a little Aristotle
and pause before you name call others as bigots etc, because your truth is only presumed and built on your own prejudices and assumptions
