Truth Relativism

My friend ‘Skinny’ believes that the world of social media is his place of escape from conservative society, a space where he can meet and interact with a few admirable people, people of enormous rational ideas, people who’re like him, and are always ready to step in to create opportunities and to serve the world.

My other friend ‘Spoonhead’ alternatively believes that the world of social media is a bullshit invention, full of dreadfully awkward, air-headed, and ego-devastated drama kings and queens, who believe they’re the centre of universal attention, and everything they do or say must excite everyone's interest and concern

Funny, but I guess they’re both right. It is called "Truth Relativism", it is the overstanding that there are no absolute truths - that truth is always relative to some particular frame of reference” – so the decency or immorality of one’s use of social media is relative.

I guess both Skinny and Spoonhead must learn to live with the fact that individual preferences, comfort zones and ways of approaching life cannot be identical at all times. Even in the ‘Hood’, different ‘Weed-Heads’ will roll their ‘Joints’ in different ways, some love the blended ‘Spliff’ and others want it organic
