- Like 2 arrows meeting in mid-air -
The subjective truth is larger than the objective truth.
It has to be. The subjective contains all the little truths that we can see from our own limited and unique perspective.
The subjective contains the objective.
The objective is a subset of the subjective.
The objective can be seen as more important, but only in the way the earth is more important that the air. Which is to say not really more important at all, just more easily experienced, because it is more apart from us.
Objectivity isn’t best because it’s based on cold hard facts, it’s just easier than accounting for all the quirks and errors of subjectivity. Yet everything we experience is subjective, so we’re excluding a large part of our own experience by being objective.
And objective is not better, only smaller, and more easier to communicate. Easier.
And therefore the subjective is not bad, only larger, and more difficult to communicate. But can still be communicated, if you try hard enough.
