A Pointless, Not-Well-Researched Interpretation of:

Subjectivity

As human beings, we spend the majority of our existence caught up in the relentless onslaught brought upon by life’s demand for our attention. In the reality that the masses of individuals perceive; he, she or other can be figuratively characterized as entities submerged in a confined tank of their own fears, desires and self-hindrance. All in all, a finite space with infinite worries and wonders that forces our mental logic to place us in the center of our own universes. However, to transcend above our self-centeredness, is nearly impossible.

As restricting as it may seem, subjectivity is the very essence of our character. It is the term that brings meaning to the phrase that is considered to be a rather discarded cliché: “Everyone is special.” Because for baffling reasons, the very existence of the complex nature of subjectivity has allowed human beings to ascend to great heights in all aspects that are constrained to a global society that is perceived to weigh so heavily on the shoulders of discovery.

However, the delightful irony lies in the fact that subjectivity is also an instrument of mass ignorance—an ignorance that is inevitable and insurmountable in nature, which highlights the double-edged sword it truly is. In terms of a broad, unbiased definition, subjectivity is judgment, colored in an infinite spectrum, in which each hue acts as a depiction of a person’s character. On the other hand, in relation to a more personal point of view, subjectivity is perceived to be a single color distinctive to that individual’s personality. It truly is a shame that human beings are compelled to grasp at the world indoctrinated by their own opinions; however, that is completely subjective.
