NO! To Relativism.

What is right, meaning what is natural and correct and good and true and civil and favourable to harmony, is STILL right even if no one does it. What is wrong, to be understood as incorrect, and bad and false and conducive to disharmony, is STILL wrong even when everyone does it. If you feel you need to rely on “your truth” and I in mine, it’s probably not because you respect mine, but because you don’t care about it. This is apathy, not love, nor democracy. Nor is a mutual “non-interference” pact true democracy because, in a society, it is hardly possible not to interfere in one another’s affairs, most of all when non-interference actually incurs favouring one side over another via new legislation. There exists no gain to democracy in our not discussing our issues and resolving them. True democracy is founded in open discussion to find common grounds, or failing that, a settlement. It is certainly not rooted in an imposition of the few over the majority just as it is not found in a tyranny of the majority. It is certainly not rooted in apathy and alienation, but in seeking knowledge of one another to achieve understanding and empathy. Relativism is then not a tool of democracy, but a tool for totalitarianism; for in Relativism there is only division.
