Everyone is Trapped in Their Own Ego-Universe

Everyone Lives in Their Own Universe

The idea that every person lives in their own universe highlights how individual our perception of reality is. We experience the world through the lens of our own concepts and thought structures, leading to inevitable differences in interpretation.

The Illusion of a Shared Reality

In materialism, we believe in an objective, external reality perceived equally by everyone. However, actual perception is shaped by our own thought processes. The concepts and terms we use are individual and influence how we interpret the world.

Why We Can Never Fully Understand Each Other

Words are like variables—their meaning varies from person to person. Even simple terms like “cup” evoke different images. With abstract concepts like **love** or **hate**, the differences become even clearer, as everyone’s perceptions are shaped by their unique experiences and ideas.

Respecting Each Individual’s Universe

It is important to respect the individual nature of each universe. Communication requires openness and the understanding that our words can never mean exactly the same thing to someone else.
