If someone says Truth does not exist.
This would mean that this statement itself cannot be True.
If it were True the statement would be false.

It would be like saying words do not exhist.
Saying this sentences outloud disproves the thiesis of the statement itself.
The same applies to logic.

Denying the exhistance of Truth would lead to a philosophical singularity which disproves itself, and makes existance itself impossible. Thus one's own exhistance disproves the statement.

It's like saying everything is relative. If everything is relative, even this statement can be relative, so it contradicts itself because it could be objective depending on who is judging.

Absolute truth exist, but perception and misunderstanding is too big of a factor for there to be truth in social situations
