Atleast that's what I mean, there is evidence (although not as strong) that truth very well might be relative but there is 0 evidence that truth is absolute, you know?
But again even that statement is self-defeating. You are DECLARING DEFINITIVELY that there is NO evidence truth is absolute. You are presenting as a truthful statement. Meaning that statement is an absolute truth statement, but that is in fact what the statement is meant to deny. Any way you slice it, truth is not relative.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
