Are there any absolutes?
This morning I received a note from a friend that said, "I don't think there's an answer, or even absolute truth, everything is so relative."
This is exactly what I do not believe -- in fact, I can not believe it. Because without some absolute truth, then there is no reason at all for anything. If the only meaning is the meaning that we see for ourselves, then it is all pointless -- just a giant chemistry experiment slowly normalizing at things all balance out.
Even if that is so, I would rather dream it otherwise.
