I'm not sure what it is but I guess I would define it as that which is right by God.
defining God as one with an infinite perspective of past, present, and future.

not that I think if something is considered right in the past, present, and future then it's right simply because of that fact but more like it's right despite that fact or in conjunction with that fact.

It is right due to it's own intrinsic qualities. It's right because it just is. Because that's its nature.

EDIT

not sure this is the direction you were trying to go..

Hello......................well biscuithead. Sometimes I do get profoundly amazed a some of the avatars individuals choose.

Well to start with is that the universe, is; more importantly, we are a part of it. And that is the truth. How's that?

Now...............exactly how we fit into...................all that; welcome to the forum. Let's discuss it, shall we. What are you wondering..............about? Please keep it simple or at least try.

WHY should one think there are universal truths? And what does it mean that we want to have them?

Hm...I wonder....

The universal truth is best understood by a maxim: It will cost twice as much tomorrow and will be half as much fun...

I forget how smart I am some times until I find one of my old posts...How do you folks stand it???
