Truth is probably logarithmic in that the closer you get to it the more impossible it becomes. There are nevertheless degrees of it, and some understandings of it, some utterances in its direction, are closer than others.

Truth cannot be attained in any absolute sense. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there. Neither does it mean that all attempts at it are equal. Some get closer and it is these ones that need to be upheld.

The danger of relativism is its potential descent into the idea that any one view is as valid as any other. Just because the absolute is unobtainable it doesn’t follow that all views have validity. It’s just that the curve gets steeper the harder you try, and try you certainly have to.
