I agree, but it seemed like your argument was dependent on personal beliefs, at least in the examples you gave.
Understood, but in my examples I did use personal beliefs as the subject, but it really can be anything:
"the color of this pen is blue"
"The sun is 93,000,000 miles from the earth"
Are these claims to absolute truth or are they relative statements?
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
