Is there something relatively absolute and something absolutely relative?

Question

Is there something relatively absolute and something absolutely relative?

What do you think?

By absolute I mean: with no exception, with no variations, with no point of reference to be what it is;

by relative: take the "no" word out from this things and then there is what I mean.

tnx,

Answer 1

Death. It is all of what you said when you factor in everyones opinions on it. No exceptions, you will die. No variations, no matter what everyone does they will die. No point of reference, you never know death unitll you yourself are dead. Exceptions, the after life so your not really dead. Variations, reicarnation, heaven, hell, or the black nothingness. Point of reference, what every one tells you or what you feel is correct. Life can be considered the same, but you have to buy into crazy conspiracy theories to be able to qualify for all your sub catagories. I found that Ironic and humerous though, death is easier to understand than Life... intresting is it not?

Answer 2

Something that is relatively absolute, and something that is absolutely relative, are both relative. The former is absolute only by virtue of certain conditions, standards, laws or contexts that make it such, the later is relative by definition.

But both exist, sure. An example of something being relatively absolute would be 1+1 = 2. It is absolute within the conditions, standards, and laws of the type of math in which this is true. Within that relative mathmatical structure, 1+1 always, without exception or variations equals 2.

An example of something that is absolutely relative would be the meaning of a sentence. It is always, without exception or variation, dependent upon its content. (That is, one cannot know the meaning of a sentence without knowing the contents of that sentence.)

Answer 3

first off the above mathematical statement is wrong. 1+1 doesnt always equal 1. In fibonaci sequence as well as different bases this statement is false. The sun rises in the east isnt correct either, what about other planets. The question is flawed in that absolute is interpretable to everybody differently and may not be distinquished at all. the human body and mind have limitations that skew are ability to see absolute therefore they may be abolute relativity but all humans will know is things being relatively absolute.

Answer 4

Absolute relativity. Like identical twins.

Answer 5

The word "relative" requires a point of reference.

Answer 6

change is relatively absolute:

how we deal with change absolutely relative.

Answer 7

relatively absolute: Sun rises in the east (does not matter what hemisphere you are in)
Absolutely relative: The sun is up (depends on what hemisphere you are in)

Answer 8

Truth is relative. Honesty is not.

Answer 9

EVEN THOUGH you didnt EXPLAIN IT, i still DONT GET it!
