 The first sentence is true - dependent, of course, upon establishing a time
period within which to contain this statement.

The second sentence is true.

The third sentence is false.  A rejoinder designed to make those who purvey
this falsity stop and think is. "Oh?  And pray tell, how much spice would it
take for YOU to eat spoiled meat?"

eventually triumph and there is a purpose and worth to each and every life.
