My eyes wander from my bed to the window and I am staring outside. It is a very cold but nice winters' day. Later I will visit my grandmother and play volleyball. What else should I do? Writing or playing the piano? How nice it is to be able to do what I want. This is my life and my reality of this world. I shape this life with my own mind. Things I find entertaining, beautiful or boring may seem like the opposite to others. Everyone notices different things than other people, everyone feels differently, acts differently, looks differently, thinks differently. Everyones' life is different and so is the core of their very existence.


So is there a difference between everyones' reality and their actual perception of life?

It is said that reality is to see things as they actually exist. Is reality infinite through this? Or is there only a reality as long as there are conscious beings to percieve it? Are there multiple realities or is there only one true reality?
I am actually lucky enough to live a relatively free life but this is definitely not the case for everyone on this planet. So in my reality I percieve this world differently than others since my reality is directly shaped by my life. That is why I think, that there is a slightly different reality for everyone on this planet.

At the same time I am asking myself if there may be a reality that includes everones' reality. Something that shows the world how it truly is without judgement or prejudices. But is a conscious being actually able to see something like that or is this ability left for only the gods or whatever may exist outside of human perception?
In my opinion no human will ever be able to see things as they truly are since we subconsciously categorize everthing we percieve. This concept is called ''subjectivism'' in philosophy and is really intriguing in my opinion.
If I state this ''subjectivism'' as the foundation of human perception I unavoidably ask myself if there even is a reality for us humans since we always judge everything. So, to come back to the definition of reality, we cannot see things how they actually are. Since I still have the tendency to think of this world and life as my reality, I ask myself if someone could transform their life however they want, in any direction and change it for the better or worse. To do that we would have to use the power of our mind since the mind is the tool to actually open ourselfs up to see the world and experience our life. Can everyone create their own reality or will this lead into living a dream while reality continues without them seeing at least a part of it?

Would finding answers to those questions actually help with understanding life? Do those answers even exist? Or is it our fate to stumble through this strange thing called life, figuring everything out as we go but never really understanding our very existence?

I am really interested how you think of that topic. Maybe it doesn't interest you at all and you think it is a waste of time to think about stuff like that? Or maybe you are against the concept of subjectivism? I hope to get some new ideas or maybe even answers because at the moment I mostly have questions without any answers to them.
Thanks a lot for reading until down here and I hope you are having a great day! :)
