as mentioned earlier by greek philosophists, we can’t trust our observations. looking for the truth, we have to analyse the input in our brains by an object. first thing to do is to define an object: a "thing" with certain characteristics, existing in reality or in our mind, that interacts with an observer with capacities of analysing formats.

for example when we look at an object, it has a certain relation in space and time. i walk around that object – a time consuming business – the relations to the surroundings will change and it seems that the object is in an other place, while being on the same place, it hasn't moved at all. thus the same object can interact with my observations in different ways.

i can gaze at the object in the mean time not seeing it, because my mind is not touched by the object itself at that very moment. there must be an attraction going out from the object itself, that captures my mind, so i can see it. it calls for attention. this is a necessory condition for observation and interaction between the object and the subject.

even, if i am elswhere and not seeing that certain object, i can imagine in my mind, that it is there. and of course it is there in my mind and it can even takes realistic forms, depending on the strenght and the polarity or attractiveness of my imaginationary force. let us look what for possibilities there are for this simple thought.

if this object is really there and in my mind, we call that observation. or is it only in my mind meaning existing in my mind and existing in reality but in an other place and time. we call that rememberance. or the object is not existing at all elsewhere. we call that fantasy. in all the forementioned possibilities the position of the observer must be a central one.

but what if you look at this phenomenon as a indirect observer? you can see the subject in relation to the object only if both are there and you can see both. but you can’t see what that subject is thinking and analysing about that object. you can only note certain interactions, wich on their turn may be delusional. strange isn't it?

what can we learn? reality doesn't exist for real, it is always only partial and sometimes delusional, because what we call reality serves a certain goal to fulfill. the same happens with truth. the truth doenn't exist, because there is only truth in certain objectives. reality and truth are abstractions and as such they exist only partional.
