so there is no absolute anything? just a weird concept I've been thinking about.. for eg. you can't have a simply "good" person, they'd be good compared to something else, etc. so everything quantifiable is relative to something else? am I missing something?

I agree ABSOLUTELY with your views. Everything is relative either to another thing or to itself in the past or in the future. It is so because our cognitive experience is based on relative comparison of perceptions...... we treat it as equal when the difference is below the minimum cognitive margin. In this Universe, there are no two things identical in all respects... not even two blood-cells in the same part of the same body, not even two leaves of the same branch of the same tree. Hence any quantity beyond the single unit is not absolute. That paradoxically also implies that everything is unique and hence absolute in itself. Well, well, that means no conclusion either can be absolute!!
Fabulous question... thanks!! Took me on a trip!!!

yes everything is inter related to one another
even the relations with either money or something else.

Nothing is absolute; and existence, it's opposite, might be also. Probably.
