Objective and Subjective

I am is the only subject, while anything else that can be perceived is an object.

Here is what objective and subjective mean in normal language.

Objective means something that can be observed by many subjects. Such as trees, clouds, cars basically anything external.

Subjective means something that can be perceived by a single subject.  Such as thoughts emotions feeling which are essentially internal.

Note that the so called subjective things are what are most important to me.

While the objective things are of secondary importance, in fact they derive their importance from my subjective thoughts and emotions about them.

Science as by its nature only focuses on the objective things.
