I have written somewhere here on my blog this phrase “in pursuit of truth..”. I believe searching for truth is an altogether worthy ambition. Since Jesus himself is Truth and all truth springs from his eternal life, truth seekers should be more common in my view.

As the adults ripped bits of flesh off the dying fish the young Ospreys would open their mouths as wide as possible and wait to be fed. Whatever mom or dad deposited into them was happily accepted.
