Hi Marsha, I respectfully disagree. "Relativism is a form of nepotism". A simple analysis of the roots of words can show that. Relatives and relativism. We cannot ascribe nepotism to our relation to our world. However, if your view works for you, more power to you; I cannot convince you otherwise, nor would I try. I interpret your quotes differently.
