Maybe I did the
wrong thing by creating this
writeup as a '
thing', implying the
existence
of objectivity. It does not exist except as a
concept, for I am a
human. Everything I
perceive
has a frame of reference, both in the actual
reception of
stimuli, and in its
absorption.
To give a very basic
example: a child
would describe a 5 foot person as being tall, whereas
any
adult knows this person is actually short.
It's all relative.
With all due respect, Tsarren's
writeup has only served to prove my point. If I can
see the world through another's eyes, then once again
I am being subjective. Anything I see, hear
feel, or think is subjective, I internalize it
based on the way it relates to me. If I can feel
everything another perceives, and experience every
emotion they have had, I am just seeing it the
way it relates to them. But I am not seeing it
objectively. Because I am still interpreting.
I can't help interpreting. This is how my body,
mind and heart respond to stimuli. They interpret,
absorb, and assimilate by using frames of reference.
(Similar to feeling like you're moving when you're really sitting still, or touching your warm arm with cold hands).
For convenience's sake, or perhaps for lack of
the real thing, we call our attempts at
detatchedness objective viewpoints,
but there is no state of true objectivity.
