Relative

Knowledge is generally relative.

There are no two people who are 100% alike in this world. People’s knowledge can differ from one another. Sure, they could have their agreements, but there are also those who seek to pose a challenge. At some point, what is known for some is opinionated.

I remember playing a game. The point of the game was to get to other side differently from the other players. So basically, you can’t repeat the way the walk whatsoever. The main point of the game was to show that despite having the same starting point and the same end, there are always different ways to do it. That somewhat applies to knowledge and its relativity.

Person A would know for himself that Wall-E was the best Pixar movie. Person B would say Toy Story 3. They have their argument, but in the end, no one wins. You can’t really know which is the better movie.

I can foresee a debate between the relativity of knowledge. I know that this will forever linger in our minds. We may never be sure of what we say. In fact, are we sure enough that we’re sure?
