Their truth is not only contingent upon the way things actually stand in the world but on the adequacy of language to capture important aspects of those things. I think descriptions of reality are always incomplete and filtered by the language. Statements are never 'absolute'. Therefore truth cannot be either.
But that logic would make this statement not absolute and not always true. It's self defeating.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
