I'm listening to: Saves the Day - In Reverie

I FINALLY GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE! =D

I'm feeling more convinced than ever that relativism is true. It's not as if I haven't been thinking that way for quite a long time already, but this belief is still rather inadequate when it comes to dulling the rude shock of jarring differences between people, which I think it ought to do. It's probably too easy being narrow-minded.

I know relativism has been majorly dissed for not accounting for concrete, indisputable facts like the law of gravity, etc. I think these facts constitute a general framework for each individual's interpretation and formation of their own reality, and that the latter is what genuinely matters. That's because concrete truths by themselves are meaningless, if I can draw on an analogy to how colour is entirely a fabrication of our mental faculties and there is, technically, no such thing in 'framework reality', which only has light waves at different frequencies.

'Interpretative reality' (colour, in this case) is of primary importance, particularly because it's our only access to 'framework reality' (this is probably subjective, especially to hard-liner objectivists).

Given that interpretations are subjective, it follows that interpretative reality, hence, blahblahblah... voila - relativism.

This isn't a watertight argument because it's just an opinion I'm exploring, and I do think an answer can be derived in the same manner except, following my line of thought as above, it wouldn't be an objective one. It's an answer, nonetheless, and you're the only one who needs to know, really.

Mental senior citizens = People who are, mentally, like senior citizens, NOT mad old people. These people probably compensate by being childlike in other ways as I've come to notice, and it's cool =)
