Subjective and Objective

Updated: Sep 8, 2023

After more than a year of eager anticipation, a large food supermarket in town finally opened its doors recently. Everyone was very excited and flocked to the store, ignoring the biting cold winter winds, forming a queue that stretched for hundreds of meters at the entrance. One day after the grand opening, two friends visited the supermarket, and below are their respective user experiences.


Friend A: The shopping experience was terrible. The aisles were difficult to navigate, and parking was a nightmare. The deli section was crowded, and I didn't have the patience to wait. The products were the same old, but the worst part was the lack of customer service. The staff behaved like they didn't care at all. I wouldn't recommend it.


Friend B: The supermarket is conveniently located right next to the highway exit. The parking lot is spacious, and I easily found a spot. They had set up a hundred-meter-long tent at the supermarket entrance for customers to wait comfortably, shielding them from the harsh weather conditions. The deli section was bustling, offering a wide variety of delicious food at reasonable prices. The supermarket is huge, and it has a vast selection of products. The cashier was attentive and friendly. Importantly, most of the staff were from the local Chinese community, providing many job opportunities for them. I highly recommend it.


After listening to their feedback, I found it quite interesting. Same place, same products, same people, yet such contrasting experiences. I pondered for a while and had an epiphany. The external environment is objective, but a person's feelings are subjective. All our experiences stem from our subjective perceptions. The same thing can evoke different feelings based on the beliefs in your mind. Critical people see a world filled with problems, while those in pain see a world filled with suffering. Happy individuals perceive a world filled with joy, and the affluent see a world filled with abundance...
