What we can do to help find truth is interact with others in such a way that we learn from them and show each other different perspectives of truth‚ one day we all might what find it. I think that this is very unlikely though because people want to have their own believes and ways of thinking. Sometimes even if they know they are wrong they will still disagree just to be different. If we can not agree then how can we find truth? Ethics is a way of living
