Absolutes do not exist...I think? Growth and change require an absolute one man said.....?
something compared to or in relation to something, in his mind that meant something absolute. yet to me it seems that that is not the case. Since growth dos not have to be into something know, something already decided. I mean it can be spontaneous growth into unknown.
And change can be understood in relation to the world around you, itself in constant change. Plus the you that once was compared to the you today, is compared with your memory, also subject to change and distortion. The reality of it being only a thought. So I dont see his arguement of stating that is proof.
I am not a philosophy expert so please correct me if I am wrong.

"Change does infer one absolute being compared to another absolute. You cannot say you are taller if you aren't certain you were once short."
but does not an sbsolute mean something perfect, thus static?
then you compare your height with a memory, a thought.
how can that be absolute, where does it exist? my mind? even that will pass.
Sorry, english is not my mother tounge.
