Truth-An Illusion

Our quest for truth dates our existence itself. Existence of mankind & its perpetuity through ages has raised curiosity about our evolution & rightly so. Why do we exist? What is the truth of our life? What is the purpose of our life? Many such evolutionary questions have teased some of the finest minds in the history of mankind. What distinguishes us from other species is our ability to think & our element of curiosity. Our quest for absolute truth has passed on from generation to generation. Yet, all that we have found is that truth is relative in nature & that relative truth complies with the contemporary needs/views of the society to make them believe that their version of truth is absolute in nature.
Assuming that a question was asked in 18th century to a physics student about nature of light & he answers saying that light is particle in nature then who is correct?  Student, Newton or Einstein? Similarly assuming that some years or maybe centuries from now earth is proven to be flat then who is correct about the shape of the earth? We(majority prevalent opinion), ridiculed flat earth society members or our ancestors before Galileo's views were accepted by the society. Many such examples can be put forth. But the ultimate question remains, what is the absolute truth? Before searching for such questions we must try to find answers which have remained unchanged throughout the journey of mankind.
If we study anything in-depth we realise that events, opinions & personalities exist in a cyclical fashion. As Sir Winston Churchill said, "The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see". We are a part of a circle whose radius is infinite. In our perspective we're moving forward but in reality we're just encircling that all elusive truth. The 16th century renaissance idea that 'man is the centre of the universe' is a very comforting belief. This belief fails to give us a detached view of mankind. The most difficult part about having an objective view about the universe or the mankind is our attached view & our inherent bias which intuitively reflect in our emotions. I have always believed that human emotions are an absolutely essential prerequisite for the society to exist. But detached views & objective opinions are required to understand the absolute truth.
Truth is multi-dimensional, traversing the realms of all known universal dimensions. It is detached, fundamental, unbiased & objective. Our quest for truth & our survival prerequisites have an inherent conflict of interest.
Detachment is a precondition for absolute truth but that detachment is in contraversion to the basic survival prerequisites i.e. EMOTIONS. Maybe that's the reason why universe is created in such a way that we believe that we're moving forward towards that absolute truth but in reality all we end up doing is encircling it.
