Truth is Relative - This is the rather cynical notion that there really isn’t such a thing as truth for everybody. It’s often expressed by the lie, “Truth is relative.” That’s a statement that refutes itself. If truth is relative, then saying so is also relative, meaning that we can’t trust the statement to be true all the time.
His truth, her truth, their truth, your truth. What a difference an adjective makes! Such choice of words is far more serious than a mere difference of opinion.

We have embarked on a very dangerous journey down a dark and dead-end path.

One of the telltale signs of moral decline, one that if unchecked will ultimately portend civilizational collapse, is a careless, cavalier, and subjective attitude toward truth. When a people value truth for its own sake and seek to establish and uphold it, then other critical values fall into place: justice, trust, fairness, civility, honor. In court, we swear under oath to “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” because neither a good conscience nor a free and civil society will tolerate anything less.
