Read historically and critically. Texts have genres, contexts, and aims; truth shows up in the context, not as a universal literal.
Agree that context grips truth. Yet treat a text as terrain: study motive, audience, and timing, then strike with insight suited to the aim.
Texts teach virtue that lasts, not just their era; the sages give timeless rites and benevolence to guide how we live and keep society in harmony.
