Words Like Weapons by Brothers Past

Today I was thinking about how I’ve had a few large realizations that have fundamentally shifted the way I see the world.
The first was in 2004 (I think) on new years eve, in the Flordia Keys. I was looking out into the ocean, which was at extremely low tide. The ground and sky were the same shade of dark, and they blended into on solid wall of dark. It was incredibly peaceful, and it helped my mind wonder. That night I came to understand Subjective and Objective as I do now. I’ve found out since then that most people don’t have the same ideas about the Subjective and Objective. I don’t think I’ve ever really tried to explain it to anyone, because it is so pervasive.
Sometime in the following few years I came to understand definitons. I have a feeling that this understanding came from me realizing that people defined Subjective and Objective differently than I, and this is where our misunderstanding started. Which I’ve since found applies to almost any disagreement about anything.
I was thinking about this today as I walked by the dorm I lived in last year. I lived in the Noah Webster House. I always knew this, but everyone called it Webster, and somehow, even though I spent nine months there, I never realized it was the Noah Webster House. The man behind the dictionary. Definitions.
Noteworthy
My views on objectivity and subjectivity are rather unique as well. If we’re ever inclined to have a serious conversation, I would be very interested to hear your views on these concepts.
Heh, my views on this has gotten me into some trouble before. It’ll be interesting to hear an original interpretation of these concepts.
