Truth is that which is valid apart from our beliefs and perceptions. If
truth doesn't exist, then everything is arbitrary.  If it does, than some
ideas are actually better/more accurate than others.  I certainly cannot
prove that it is wrong to take a 4 year old girl, rape and torture her in
the most hideous manner possible before killing her. However, I believe
that it is a true statement that she deserves better than that because of
her inherent worth as a human being.

Another word you bandies about is fact.  Facts are actually a lot more
limited than a casual observation might lead one to believe.
