Absolutes

A college professor once said,''There are no absolutes.''. While this shows remarkable self-confidence and personal conviction I fear that he has missed the mark by a significant margin.

You see, the problem is that most things you come across in this world are relative. Even truth is relative, depending on your viewpoint, and for some this is important, otherwise how could they justify their actions / thoughts with any degree of success?


The problem here is that the professor making the statement has a different world view to mine. I know there is such a thing as Absolute Truth ie. Truth that does not waver, or change with the times, or adapt Itself to modern thinking - Truth that stays constant and consistent regardless of situation and / or circumstances. I feel sorry for those who do not know this Truth, because their 'absolute' world-view clouds their vision just enough to obscure the Real.

My reply to him would be;''Are you Absolutely sure?''. I wonder what he would say..........
