something gud for you can be bad for another one. heaven for you can be hell for others. god for you can be evil for some other person. everything is relative,
Peace dk_bagga

Relativism has been eliminated from the quest of knowledge because people like Socrates have done the hard work to argue that there are absolutes in the areas you have specified as relative. Primarily that:

good for you and bad me is one option
bad for you good for me is another

But bad for both and good for both are other possibilities and based on this it is deduced that 'good' is defined by the greatest universal balance of individual goods reasoned through wisdom.







The Prophet(SAW) said:
"I am leaving you two things and you will never go astray as long as you cling to them -- they are the Book of Allah and my Sunnah." [Reported by Al- Haakim - Sahih].
