      Anything(language culture n stuff) i mean what  is true for you is true for you and what is true for me.

      I think so.  I tell my truth.  Based on my experience, the way I see it, what I understand.  It is the truth, my truth.

      Here comes my question if truth is in deed relative then why regard it as important?

      Geez... never saw that coming.
 
  I guess it just wouldn't matter. Facts either...  | 
|
| 
     | 
|
| 
     
      So you are saying truth does not matter and so do facts
     
   | 
|
| 
     |

      Nope... nothing remotely like that.

      Help me understand 'it just wouldn't matter.Facts either...'

      Well... if I thought that truth were reletive... then it wouldn't matter.
 
  But I don't think this way... see? Is a bogus arguement like: If a tree falls in the forest, yadayada. It's a misunderstanding of the words noise and sound. Yes it makes a noise, no it doesn't make a sound. Relative truth only applies to social awareness and perception(sometimes)... but truth is truth, most often based on facts. Like smiling at tigers... Human: Well, I was walking thru the forest and saw this tiger... it was so beautiful, that I couldn't help but smile. Then it attacked me... Tiger: Well I was in the forest over there when this human barred it's teeth at me... so I fugged him-up. Truth isn't about social/perspective differences.... it's about honesty. Er, that's my truth. haha.  |

      That actually makes sense.But that is absolute truth you are not in a defensive position..lmfao

      Truth is very relative. 
 
  But its very important because when you understand someone elses truth, you can understand the heart as well.  |

      That's correct Captain but people are selfish they regard their truth as the only truth therefore rendering it useless coz if i say am right and you say you're right and we're both wrong...

      The trick is being right (and wrong) together.

       Gearhead had it pretty much right....relative "to" what?  Truth to a particular fact or realtiy?  Truth "to" a standard or ideal?  But if you are asking me if I'm a truthful person?  My answer is yes  
      .

      I think truth is absolute, but perception of the truth is relative
