Different Stroke for different folks

You know I do agree with you, that this specific truth of mine about the Simpsons is not the same for everyone. I guess it may not even be "truth", maybe we're throwing this word around too much and I should just be saying they are my preference for the representation of what a family is.
In regards to your quote from Phaedrus, I'm a bit confused. When Socrates says that when iron is mentioned that we'll have the same thing in mind (probably the metal), but with words like "just, or good" we diverge in different directions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to support the opinion of absolute truth as well as relative truth.
A community can have a general understanding of definitions, laws, beliefs, what have you, and base their truth on those things. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a DUCK! On the other hand, certain definitions of tangible or intangible things differ from person to person. Religious beliefs, what good and evil is, justice, freedom, happiness. All these things are...baffling.
The more I think of it, the more I want to say, but CAN'T! I'll drive myself mad before I ever discover what truth is...because truth is not truth. It's perspective, it's experience, it's inherited, learned, acquired, manipulated.

I thought of this earlier today.
Let's use this analogy.
I'm color blind. You hand me an apple and tell me it's blue, but it is actually red. I take it to others who are color blind and tell them that this apple I have is blue. Word spreads though the community till the consensus is that apples are blue.

You and 100 color blind people are asked what color the apple is.

Who will be right? Does one individual have the ability to hold the truth to themselves, and possibly deceive others, or does the society decide what is true?

"Consider this, fair youth, and know that in the friendship of the lover there is not real kindness; he has an appetite and wants to feed upon you: As wolves love lambs so lovers love their loves."

Oh no...I've gone into zone of LOVE!
