I was just thinking about people's own perceptions of themselves - and how wrong they often are. How somebody might think of themselves as unloved (or anything), but there are lots of people out there who love them more than anything in the world...the person just doesn't know.

I think that our own subjective perceptions of ourselves differ from others' subjective perceptions of ourselves and themselves (and everything else, for that matter) to such a great and diverse extent that it is amazing. Does an objective reality unaffected by perception even exist? What is "objective reality" anyway? How can anything be objective at all, except for from the "God's eye" view (and what if there's no God)? Will we ever know what other people think of us? Do we want to?
