object and subject

anything we see has a meaning. sociopolitical, psychological, aesthetic and such. it has associations. sometimes representations. it exists as an ontological reality independent of our sensory perception. it is there as it is. it has an essence. it also has a subjective reality which we project on to it. our impression of it is based on our perception. which is real? both are. both exist. we observe it. we have an opinion about it. but it is not a permanent opinion. we perceive it in a particular time and space. time is embedded in it. it tells a story on one level. then after the story, it becomes silent. still. then it changes in to something else. a new story begins. some stories are short and subtle. minimal and sublime. swift and abstract. some are gross and bold. some do not sound like stories at all. but the subject continues to exist.
