I Believe Absolutes Exist
There is only one way reality, really is. One of our jobs is try to find truth. Truth is the correspondence to what we think or say something is, and that it turns out to be really accurate i.e. Reality really is the way we say it is. Most of the time our ideas about truth are approximations, sometimes closer to reality than at other times. Hence, we can be misled into thinking that absolutes don't exist.

It must be true because the opposite statement is self-defeating. When a person says "there a are no absolutes" they are asserting an absolute.

I'm not sure what that had to do with topic. But I do think reality can change from person to person and reality is what you make it.

 May i interpret what you are saying. you are saying that reality is determined by the individual--this is what you think reality is really like--so in a sense you are creating a absolute, namely that reality is really like a lump of clay that can be shaped by whatever the individual desires. Do you have any evidence that your statement about reality is something that I should believe to be true?

Yes, but then again I think the filter here is absolutely idiotic. It flags things that you can say on prime time television and things that you can say in kid's cartoons. You can't even say "c r a p" for crying out loud!

Your belief is not proof.

 Here's a simple test: go to your bank and fill out a withdrawal slip for 1 million dollars and take it to the teller. The teller says, "you only 23 bucks in your account, get lost." then you are faced with a good example of my definition of reality.
