Truth Is Absolute Not Relative by Hazel Guico
Background of the Topic: Many people nowadays seek for “THE TRUTH”. I searched up the internet and Google gave me 611 million answers in just a quart of a second. As top answer Google gave me this definition from wisegeek.com, “An absolute truth, sometimes called a universal truth, is an unalterable and permanent fact. The concept of absolute truths - what they are and whether they exist - has been debated among many different groups of people. Philosophers have waded in the muck of defining absolute truth for millennia. For example, Plato believed that absolute truth existed, but that truth on earth was merely a shadow of great forms of absolute truth existing in the universe which is now commonly called “universals”. Alternatively, many believe in relative truths, where facts may vary depending on the circumstances.” Simply put, WHAT’S TRUE TO ME MAY NOT BE TRUE TO YOU.
It is however difficult to disprove the concept of absolute truth, since saying that there are no absolute truths - that it is absolutely true that no absolute truth exists - is itself an absolute truth.”
Relationship of the Topic-
Main: It will help us to know and recognize the fundamental basis of truth.
To me: I firmly believe on absolute truth unlike others. I believe in the absolute truth of the Bible and God as its ultimate source.
To the society: Living in a society sharing the same ground that there is an existence of absolute truth would eradicate most of today’s debates on non-significant yet intriguing problems. Also, there is the need of a certain and mutual fundamental basis of the absoluteness of truth and from whence it come forth.
Problem: Many of us were blinded about what is truth and a lot of us have different queries regarding what is the real meaning of truth whether it is absolute or relative.
