Oleh yang demikian, dilihat dari sudut yang pelbagai itu, pemaknaan tentang sesuatu perkara selamanya bersifat sementara, terbatas, maka untuk mengatasi keterbatasan ini perspektif yang lain harus diambil kira. Di sinilah faham pluralisme dianggap penting untuk menghalang manusia dari kecenderungan mengabsolutkan yang relatif.”

Never was such a charge made of men or boys.
