Absolute Truth

“If you can say it is definitely right, then it’s truth.”

“1: “Can you know absolute truth?”

“2: “No, you can’t.”

“1: “What if two people have different views of right and wrong?”

“2:  “Yes, everyone can have different views.”

“1:  “Will they be right at the same time?”

“2:  “Sometimes they will.  Sometimes they won’t.”

“1:  “How do you measure truth?  Science?  Experience?”

“2:  “Truth.  Everybody has it’s own measure about the truth.  Maybe yours is your belief about some scientific way, technology or something like that.  Everyone has their own point of view.”

“1:  “Can one person’s views be more true than someone elses?”

“2:  “No.”

“1:  “How do we determine right from wrong?”

“2:  “You can’t.  It depends on the situation and it depends on a person’s personality or character.  It all depends.”

“1:  “How do we determine right from wrong?”

“2:  “Right and wrong are more relative.  Maybe right for one person and wrong for another person.”

“1:  “Can two people be contradictory and be right at the same time.”

“2:  “Yes.  Every person makes his own truth.  His own right.  Sometimes people try to get a monopoly on truth.  But truth is not just one person.  It’s for everybody to determine.”
