I heard a nice quote the other day, and I don't know who to attribute
it to:  "Just because I'm right doesn't mean that you are wrong."
Even in an Absolute or Universal of Objective Truth, there are many
ways to interpret or understand it.  Just because "the truth is out
there" doesn't mean we actually understand or know it for what it is,
though we might know a bit of it.  That's one big problem I have with
people who claim to have and fully know THE absolute truth.  The
"truth" is that the sun will rise tomorrow.  But the more "full truth"
is that the Earth will keep spinning and our side will eventually be
turned towards the Sun again.
