Meaning and Points of View

There is both meaning and no meaning in things we hear, read, say and do. Sometimes we try to add meaning to things, and sometimes things are meaningful to us, but not to others. Sometimes, things that were once meaningful lose their meaning, and sometimes the meaning is renewed after we experience new things, have new conversations, or read new books.

Meaning is never objective, but is instead always subjective. There are always various points of view for the same opinion, and opinions change with each point of view. There are no facts, no proof, no absolute truths, only opinions and subjective experiences.

Every so-called fact can be called into question and rendered meaningless according to certain points of view. But certain things can seem true or untrue, depending upon one’s point of view. Any bit of so-called evidence used to prove a so-called fact can be called into question according to different points of view. That’s why witnesses are important. But any witness can be discredited by another witness, and any fact can contradict another fact.

In the end, every point of view of every witness is subjective. No matter how many witnesses you have, there is always the potential for contradiction from a new witness. Apparent facts are simply a carefully controlled and constructed point of view of one or more witnesses that agree on the same opinion. Their subjective experiences can always be doubted and questioned based on new evidence or witnesses.
