... is more about creative interpretation and construction, not about perceiving an objective reality. We all may live in our own individual self-made dream.

What or who is "objective" anyway? Surely not humanity .. :)

Can there even be "objectivity"? In the conventional view of the world and life, I think not. If there would be, it would imply there is nothing but that one mind being objective, and nothing but itself. One-ness. One-mindedness. One mind. Nothing else apart from it.



And maybe thats how it is. Buddhist maybe would even argue it is like this. If they would care to argue at all, that is. :)
