What the restaurant lost, he gained. Logic was the trap they offered, having already fallen into it themselves. What was needed now, I knew, was not more of the same kind of reasoning, based on untested premises, but the sharp axe of discrimination. It was then I saw the rent in their fabric.

Morality too is relative.
This simple fact, however, doesn't mean that truth is only a concept in the brain. It is not a euphemism for chaos and fragmented values. To accept the relativity of values does not make them a matter of mere taste or convenience. A toy gun in the hands of a child is only a toy, but brandished, even jokingly, in the hands of an adult might give some cause for apprehension. Truth is relative in the sense that our perception of it depends on our level of understanding and awareness.
