I think that the absolutism that you are referring to is unabashed monarchial rule. But that idea that said monarchs - and consequently imperialists and inquisitors - believe that their ways are right is still a practice of relative good and evil. Absolute evil is true evil that is beyond human cognizance, free from our perceptions and points of view. We don't know if we can truly understand it, as that sort of metaphysical understanding may be beyond what our brains can handle.

And to line that up with your previous statement, you have a manager who would book shows for you but you'd rather not follow their directions?
