" How you answer the question, whats the point? is entirely up to you."
This I believe is a fair comment or position, in its inclusiveness. We of course are required to leave this base in practice, when we must say this TV is better than others, this desire is better than others, this thought or idea is better than others, this behaviour is better than others, this occupation is better than the other ... and so on. That digression from base is purposeful, for we believe in one or other option or alternate for the time being because it seems to be your preference then or to be working for you. That would be your world, your universe that preoccupies you then, and hence represents your values then. Sadly, however preferred and believed in, that world or universe is just mine. I could sound it to others, perhaps form a group of like believers. But that does not make it universal. Only the base truths are. If, through the experiences we have, we discover some base truths, we can definitely put it across to others in an attempt to layout why it is an universal one, and let the people verify it for themselves. Scientists discover base truths pertaining to the material world, the material parts of the living world. There are base truths pertaining to the world of life - force, psychological or the mental world, intellectual and spiritual worlds ... That shouldn't really be surprising !
