I don't even think the word"truth" should exist. It should be opinion or belief. Just my 2 cents.

Absolute truths can only be known to the Creator. We hold such a small part of reality in our perceptions that in the present incarnation, we know nothing.

Well I almost agree. We don't know if we know nothing. :lol:

Yup, I think similar.
All truths are relative for us.
We even don't know if (our) existence is some absolute truth as well.
But within a specific context, all relative truths become really kind of absolute as well. For example, if my head is hit very hard with an iron bar, then there is no doubt that I will exit this existence, even if this existence is true or false absolutely :grin:
