Search for objectivity in this subjective world

I believe that the search for objectivity begins with your view of the world and ends up with yourself, because that’s the only part of ‘your’ tangible world left in front of you. I have always been enchanted on the powers of some people to disengage themselves from the problem and yet look for a solution. In other words, being objective about the problem. This simply grants them an extra degree of freedom vis-à-vis the case of being inside the problem and being subjective about it. With this understanding, I embarked on a journey to understand if objectivity is an answer to all the myriad questions that life posed.

But even before I understand the powers of objectivity, I decided to test if I can be objective in the first place, let alone knowing whether objectivity works or not. Then I decided to use the principle of induction and see if objectivity actually works at every stage.

For someone who stayed in Mumbai – indeed the microcosm of India - I always felt that objectivity came much more easily. I was able to look into the various sides with poise. I was a part of one world, while my lineage was a part of the other. This distinction allowed me a balanced view of both worlds. But when I extrapolate this to the higher worlds, I found myself quite inept at being objective. I was reduced to a person – being passionate and subjective about the worlds in which he existed - And was never able to rise above the problem to see the problem. And hence, was never granted a balanced view.

But the more I tried, the more I found it was Godly. I was too simply human to do that. It is not without reason that people often make an argument that God simply cannot be defined because he exists outside the parameters of this 3D world. Now, only when He exists outside this 3D, can He actually see everyone inside this 3D world. And hence, qualifies to become someone who can watch over us. But is that humanely possible to leave this 3D world, which we see in front of our eyes? For me that would be ultimate level of objectivism, where you are no longer are a part of the very system, in which you currently are. Hence, as said before, this gives you an extra dimension and hence, an extra degree of freedom - to make decision. Indeed, Mathematics and God worked so close to each other!!!

It is similar to the case, when you compare yourself with others. At one instant of time, you would say that – “For sure, I am better than him”. And then think over it, that probably you were too arrogant to say that. Probably, he was better than you. But the very next instant, you conjure that you are too critical of yourself. And so does the pendulum swing from one end to the other in search of an equilibrium – which is never to be found. It is because here the object and subject are the same – You. Hence, I believe that being my normal self – it is difficult for me, to achieve that kind of objectivism. But nevertheless, it was not impossible.

All that I think of the world is nothing new. It had been done before and would be done over and over again. For philosophy is just like a stock market crash. And it’s interesting to know what they say of a stock market crash – ‘Whenever the stock market crashes, the new investors learn the same old rules –Again - Once again.” Thus, now I comprehend the beauty of the problem. Ironically, it is not the novelty, but its subjective nature that makes it unique.
