I totally agree with the it's relative thing. Some pro-war people view our intention of beating up Iraq as good and that we should look after our own people first and foremost, but they have the right to live too. Pre-emptive non-agression is a concept that doesn't work. Hehe... sorry I kinda strayed off topic... 6^.^

Are you sure there really is such a thing as an objective reality? I've always been kind of convinced that everything is subjective.

It's philosophy. It doesn't matter how sure a person is of their perspective. It's all just perspective.
If there is or isn't objective reality, we'll never know, because it's all subjective from here. Of course, that raises the question "Does a person who disbelieve in objective reality do so because they can't see it?" I dunno. Maybe. Does reality exist without observation? What level of observation is required to count as 'observation'? Does anything really exist at all or is reality itself simply a mass delusion? Is the subjective mind petty and insignificant amid a vast, objective universe?
And so on and so on... all the questions have been pondered for as long as there have been minds capable of pondering. And it seems to me that, instead of getting closer to an answer, philosophers just keep thinking up more questions.
So... I have no idea. But I like to wonder about it!

Well, there is always a balance between two things
