You've got absolute truth; something is always true in every instance.
You've got Aristotle's relative truth; everyone is stealing, therefore it's okay for me to steal.
And then you have relational truth; my family is starving, there is no work, given my temporary situation it's okay for me to steal a loaf of bread.
Relational truth exists within a context of time and situation. I am unique, I have a conscience and at crucial times during the day I have a choice to make. Perhaps at that fleeting instance a type of absolute truth presents itself and then it vanishes. Something to think about.
