Relativity

Being a relativist is sometimes difficult. I can see several perspectives, and whom I am to make a judgment? What works for me, may not work for all. What may work for the majority, may not work for the minority. Do we demand adherence to these norms? Is there a best way to do things? For instance, physical health requires exercise. Exercise is at different levels for different people and there are different ways to exercise. So there is a principle of fitness for all, but different levels for each individual. Is that how all good principles should be handled? The principle of companionship is in hot debate right now. People are social creatures and therefore we thrive on relationships and love. Is there a right way to love someone? The theory of love languages tells us there is. Is there the right someone to love? Religion tells us that love is between a man and a woman; popular culture tells us that love is between two people, gender and sex not being important. There are very successful people who have dedicated their lives to a cause and have sacrificed love. Is this not good? It is hard to see the truth when there are so many sides. If there are eternal principles, are there deviants from these principles? Can a person be fulfilled in a deviation? Some would argue no, some would argue yes, others would argue it doesn’t matter because this life is meaningless. It is confusing to find answers in the quest for truth.
