To me, truth is an eternal value, and things which are true in the past will be true in the future: it is not context-dependent. Relativism can tempt one to believe that because knowledge can never be absolute, truth is not absolute, but this is not the case. It’s simply that we can never know 100%, not that something can never be 100% wrong or right.

However, there are times that I do wish to take a stand and make an effective argument in favour of my own point of view. The points you have presented are excellent guidelines and I will be bookmarking them for future use. Thank you.
