absolute/relative

Of course, we cannot reflect on absolutes before believing that the absolute is, which is not to say that the absolute exists since existence may be defined precisely as the relative, but that the absolute is transcendent to existence as such. This is one of the major confusions of modern thought, this inabilty to distinguish between existence and being, between the relative and the absolute, between ethics and morals. It is also the reason that the laws of relativity can  never frame justice.
