However, I have serious concerns about using the word "truths" in the sense of morality or spiritualism. Both of those are entirely relative concepts, influenced and changed by society and people. A "truth" by definition is something concrete. There is very little "truth" in morality or spirituality, except as they ring true to the observer based on his or her own, existing prejudices. I would argue that the only truths are those things that can be observed and agreed upon without interpretation. For example, if I drop my soda off of the edge of my desk, it will fall. That is a truth. What causes that fall and the moral and spiritual implications of that fall are up for discussion, obviously.And this is not even talking about the philosophy majors who will want to argue whether or not I can ever KNOW that there ever really was a soda can or if it ever really fell, and if at a certain moment in time there exists a soda can which is simultaneously falling and not falling.</blockquote>
