Perception of the subject and the object…

"When the subject becomes the object, we most often lose the objectivity.”
This quote highlights a crucial aspect of human perception: our struggle to remain objective when personally invested.
In simple terms, it means that when we are emotionally attached or have a strong bias, we may lose our ability to see things clearly and objectively.
For example, in an argument, we might focus more on winning rather than considering all sides.
Being too close to a situation can make us overlook flaws or shortcomings.
Our beliefs and values shape our perception.
Strongly held beliefs can make us see only supporting evidence, ignoring anything that contradicts them.
Maintaining objectivity is essential for making informed decisions and understanding the world accurately.
It helps us avoid the pitfalls of personal bias.
Perspective shifting, or seeing from another's viewpoint, can lead to a more nuanced and empathetic understanding, fostering cooperation and problem-solving.
By acknowledging our imperfections and practicing perspective shifting, we can become more objective, empathetic, and accountable in our judgments and actions.
