I think some balance of objective truth and subjective truth must be arrived at to guide us towards an absolute truth.

There are laws that we can't break, but there are also circumstances in which the interpretation of a law may be more or less relevant.

Gravity makes you fall. That is a law. You can discern when you jump off a cliff it may not work out favorably. Jumping from the bottom stair of the staircase shouldn't be too disastrous.

When we examine the context, we can get a feel for where an absolute truth might lie, especially in relation to principle, and we can orient ourselves to move 'The Way' we need to go.
