Subjectivity

Subjectivity is a philosophical topic, specific to each person and involves a persons view of ‘truth or reality’. Each individual varies in what things mean to them on an emotional level. Subjectivity is based on ones own conscious experiences, and comes from the internal.

An individual is influenced by their own perception and this has to do with their individual identity.

Subjectivity is the opposite of objectivity, and to be authentic is to ‘know thyself’, a quote from Sophocles. 

To be ‘true to oneself’, as stated by Shakespeare, one must focus on what truth is to them. Personal judgement is considered extremely important as opposed to an objectively neutral response. The perspective of possessing an influenced ‘view from the outside’ opposed to subjectively ‘a view from the inside’ can be difficult to maintain, based on what others may say within a prescribed group.

Memories, for example, are subjective as they are based on our feelings and are intentionally perceived as one’s true opinion. They are however open to interpretation as there exists an opposed view to outside influences being relied upon to determine how we think, value and feel about issues.

“Meowth! This is it! We’re really, definitely going to put these boxes away today!”

but mooooom, the game’s data doesn’t allow for thaaaat

(she is eerily similar to my own mom in the I-swear-I’ll-unpack-things regard |D)

“Oh, now who could that be?”

it’s Sophocles! what problem does he want me to solve, because nobody ever visits me for the pleasure of my company.

“What do you mean what’s wrong?! Everything is wrong!”

I feel you but also slow down and talk to me, bruh.

“Oh, are you one of Thrixe’s friends?”

uhhhhh, he runs a virtual castle I mess around in, does that make us friends

oh my god, he’s freaking out, poor baby.

“I came because I need your help, Thrixe.”

WHAT A SURPRISE! I’ll forgive you because you’re clearly upset and also adorable.

“A bunch of strange guys came and they took over festival plaza!”

NOBODY INVADES MY CYBERSPACE CRIB. THIS IS SERIOUS.

“It looks like where a final boss would live!”

don’t get meta on me now, Sopocles.

“Please Thrixe! You’ve got to help me take back Festival Plaza!”

well it does benefit me so sure why not.

“It seems this group calls itself Team Rocket. They definitely don’t seem like nice people...”

in another life, they showed us all why safety checks during genetic engineering are slightly important.

Then learn that mortal man must always look to his ending, and none can be called happy until that day when he carries His happiness down to the grave in peace.
