Short Essay: The truth in the subjective discrimination of the world

The truth in the subjective discrimination of the world

I have often seen it as my job to pursue the objective truth behind every little fact I come across.
A truth in which my subjectivity doesn’t block the judgment I lay upon it.
A truth which can be universal and used as a measurement by every human being, in order to exist in perfect harmony.
My path has stopped here; the moment I have finally realized that it is the discrimination we make in the world that has formed us into who we are, the discrimination that has turned us into colorful and distinctive personalities.
Our subjectivity has enclosed us from being coldblooded parasites, who see everything as it is.
The world is a part of us. We are forming it to our imagination, twisting and turning it instead of us being a mere observer of the world.
This is our distinction from the soulless cameras and the empty founded objects surrounding us, who aren’t able to pass their judgement on anything.
Finally it is time for me to say, we are free in our closed little room of judgments.

To begin with, the turning point for me has been that whenever I look around me I often feel the need to look at one certain person, object or area.
An urge that is very common among people; often this urge is something that has been passed to us by our parents, our friends or our environment.
The natural urge to distinguish the area in small little pieces, in which some pieces draw our attention more than others.
This distinction allows us to coexist with the rest of world, because we are careful of what we see and which behavior to show it.
This being said, I want to make clear that by making a distinction in various forms of objects in our surroundings, we are able to focus on them, to let them enter our world, to let them become a part of ourselves.
With other words, because we discriminate the world into small pieces, we are able to judge.
And this isn’t a something we have been taught, this has been a long process we all went through from an early age through our education.
Objects don’t judge, because in order to judge one needs to have the ability to lay his focus on one area, retreat all the memories and association he has with it and then tell the other what he thinks of it.
Given the fact that objects don’t have the ability to be aware of their existence, they are the only things in the world that can have a flawless judgment.
Because they can’t judge, they are objective.
Because they can’t judge from a subjective point, they are always correct.
Because they don’t feel any form of emotion for the world, the world doesn’t either.
As well the objects and the world are objective and knowing that neither can assume what is the ultimate truth, we can only assume that there is none except for what we perceive of it. 

Thus, there is no objective truth in the world. 
There is only the personal distinction we make of it, because we fortunately can’t see the world as it is.
If we did, we ourselves would be the same objects we now speak about.
