Re: The absolute truth in one sentence
Absolute truth just is. It cannot be described. Words can never explain, nor be, absolute truth. Because they are never the things they describe. Words are an interpretation of truth, or perhaps an attempt to understand it, but are always the "truth" of the one saying the words, reality as interpreted. Never actually "what is." Absolute truth exists before words come into being, like when you see a sunrise, before any thoughts enter your mind, any description or understanding, this is truth. Because words and thoughts are expressions of the self/ego. Absolute truth exists without a thinker/speaker, because they are whatever they are before anyone described them, or even if nobody described them.

Well, less absolute truth and more personal interpretation and emotional reaction… but still…

Re: The absolute truth in one sentence
If I take away the full stops it would be one sentence. My point is, not one sentence, not one word, not one thought can describe nor explain absolute truth. Because truth is whatever it is without the thinker, without the observer, the explainer, the describer or whatever. That was not meant to describe absolute truth, because such a task is impossible, indeed once one writes a sentence to describe or explain it or whatever, it ceases to be absolute truth and becomes the "absolute truth" of the one writing, it ceases to be truth, which "just is" before it is described or even observed.
Re: The absolute truth in one sentence
In my native lanugage there are no full stops nor spaces between words, so an entire book could technically be "1 sentence". Sorry to the native English speaking westerners and the grammar Nazis, my apologies. There are other languages and cultures in the world, you can check on Wikipedia if you don't actually want to go outside and look.
