Truth and Falsehood

Rav Boruch once described the difference between himself and his older brother, the Shinover Rav. “My brother greatly admires truth, and I simply detest falsehood. When my brother sees a matter that is full of falsehood and lies, if he still finds an ounce of truth in it, he honors and respects the matter and draws it close, because of this small truth that he values so highly. But if I find a matter in which I discern even an ounce of falsehood, I cannot stand it.”
