  truth brings forth power.
  
  truth is that earth is governed by gravitational law, newton law in certain aspect, and knowing this truth allows knowledge application, allows you to be able to travel to other country in a aeroplane.

  If truth is subjective, it is different to everybody, how can it be "right"?
  If truth is absolute, how can we be sure that it is correct, to fix truth as absolute?
  
  Rights, and truth are 2 different things, how can we compare?
  
  If humans die, is there anyone to judge if there is truth?
  If humans die, is dying of humans the absolute truth?
  
  If humans die, are there others for truth to be understood?
  If there is no one to understand truth, is there, still truth?
