"Why the inability to fathom absolute truths?"
* The most prevalent (but not limited to) answer is because of people's individual dishonesty and false pride.
~~~~~~~~~~
I started this reasoning by stating:
"I am not trying to convince anyone who believes in people's inability to grasp absolute truths to change their view in any way. They are entitled to their views. I am simply putting on record MY disagreement with that line of reasoning."
I later repeated it, and added:
"I maintain that position because there is no easy way to PROVE some absolute truths unless people share similar experiences.'
"The positions some people hold on to essentially limit them. They feel people cannot know anything absolutely and/or the Universal essence is indefinable. By holding to their positions absolutely, within their stated uncertainty, they severely contradict themselves. ((( They are then committed to trying to show that anything stated is in error or lacks definition even when they cannot prove that. )))"
People are quite entitled to their positions on these matters, even if I disagree with them. It's not a contest.
