That's the hole in the concept of relativism.....the problem is that there is truth that exists that isn't dependent on being relative to the person. The sky is lighter blue during the day time & dark blue/black at night. There are some things that are fact no matter how people want to argue differently. That is why it's so very important for us to hold onto what we know are true things & then hold onto the things that we know to be true for ourselves based on our own education & experience. When we allow ourselves to be convinced by every "fly by night" fool that's out there throwing their thoughts around because they claim to be so very educated, it's our responsibility to put our thoughts, values, beliefs & education together to determine what is truth & what isn't rather than to get caught up in this relativism thinking where everyone that thinks what they think is right because they think it.....all that does is make for confusion. We can be tolerant of their thinking but that doesn't mean we have to think what they think or even believe what they believe. We have to hold onto our own beliefs & have the self-confidence that what we know is our own truth because of all the information we have put together from our own lives.

Standing up for what we believe isn't always easy & sometimes we can't argue about it because there is no way we can convince others of what we believe, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't believe what we we know to be truth to us. Why do you think that religion is such a controversial topic????

I know there are some beliefs you hold onto strongly & yet others, you seem to need someone to tell you what to believe rather than determining what you believe on your own. Yes, we need education in order to base our beliefs on, but when we get the education, there comes a time to settle on our own truths while we keep our ears open for new information, but until something comes along to convince us otherwise, it's important to hold onto that truth we have come to believe & understand.

When you allow yourself to only believe what people tell you, there are so many people with so many beliefs that are relative to them, you have to take the responsibility to determine what truth you hold onto rather than waiting for someone to tell you what you HAVE to believe.

It's important never go give anyone the authority to determine what we believe or think about something, but out responsibility to accumulate the information & forumlate our own beliefs from that
