“When you are absolutely, positively sure you know all there is to know about anything, you’re as far from the truth as you will ever be.”
-Bobby Hull

All Things Are Relative, Absolutely
Being almost absolutely positive, is as good as it gets.
The Idiosyncrasies of The Absolute
Degrees of Probability
All, None, Must, Always, and Need, are all oftentimes misused and categorized as Absolutes. In addition, each sole word is Independently Interpreted. This creates Relative States of Probabilities for both the Communicator and the Receiver. These words as adjectives, nouns, verbs, and pronouns represent Extreme Degrees of Probability.
All is typically representative of Most
None is typically representative of Very Little
Must is typically representative of Should
Always is typically representative of Most of the Time
Need is typically representative of Want
The Impossible
The Lexicon giveth Absolutes their power, and also takes it away.
Absolutely impossible? If the Word Impossible is an Absolute, as it represents, no qualifier would be needed. The established and accepted Lexicon empowers the word, simultaneously and paradoxically disempowering that same word, through Subjectification.
Relativity
All Things are Relative, Absolutely. Being almost absolutely positive, is as good as it gets. The only absolute is Relativeness.
“Everything is Relative; and Only that is Absolute.”
-Auguste Comte
