Actually, explaining that there exists a dynamic between prediction and creation is rather useful.

There is a reason that you created the objective perspective in life: it seems a shame to throw it away. Why did you create the ability to see things objectively?

Objectively speaking, the idea of responsibility is really quite... foolish, in my opinion. Things simply happen. There aren't really any initiators: just a script being played out.

Subjectively, all the responsibility falls upon yourself. You are thus compelled to act and, thus, create and in creating, grow and evolve. To be in motion.

I find the objective lens to be an instigator towards knowledge. It's a guide to indicate what parts of you you're not completely aware of. It's humble: the posture of a student. Whereas the subjective lens is the posture of an entrepreneur: a master of oneself, verging on arrogance in his certainty and confidence.

It makes a lot more sense than just one or the other.
