What is "Good" and what defines "Bad"? Who's to say? Sure, Jump up on your soapboxes and start condemning me for questioning "Absolute Truth", but give me a break - do we even know. Come down off your boxes, unplug your ears, and quite your hollering - Listen. We've got "Right behavior Protocols" in our minds. In other words we think that right and wrong is black and white; such and such is always right and such and such is always wrong - am I not correct? This is where we end up if we take absolute truth to far. See, try and apply Right Behavior Protocols to relationships - it messes everything. People are so different; we respond different, think different, perceive different" - and so if "Right" is what is good and healthy, then by definition "Rightness" is relevant to the person and scenario. Wow, is that theological? (Stay with me)
But Rightness and Truth are different...
Could it be that Truth is indeed absolute, but that Rightness is relevant? See, what if Truth applies to ground-work - basis - the foundation by which people make decisions. Picture a blank plane, nothing below it, nothing above, and on that plane everyone exists. Absolute truth applies to that plane; everyone - I repeat - everyone takes some basis of reality at face value, building with them- just as mathematicians do with certain concepts. These are truths that the person does not try to prove or provide basis for. The plane is made of those truths and above the plane everyone erects castles of existence. So, the question becomes, is the plane below each person's at the same level or does absolute truth fluctuate for each persons existence - and I'll let you answer that for yourself...
