Two pitfalls that should be avoided :
-Those who always want to explain everything
-Those who believe we should never try to explain anything
The former turn our existence into an experience of sadness
The latter are hit by a gullibility which will turn their existence into one of suffering.

Isn’t the quest all about minimalising the subjectivity ?
Is pure objectivity ever-elusive ?
Isn’t our relation to objectivity necessarily asymptotic ?

I guess objectivity does not state anything.
It simply is.
