In a World without Absolute "Truth," Attempts to Find It is Useless Effort
The author is a relativist when it comes to moral values. The exact same act, done under different circumstances and background, he believes, can be either positive or negative. Stealing is a prime example. From time to time, there are news of poor, desperate people stealing out of basic need to support their families, sometimes to finance needs that can very much mean life and death for the benefactors. While debates with regard to such news have focused on why society has not helped such people (for which the author believes is a government role ), it also put forth other thoughts.
