Your parents or initial caregivers made you believe in both subjective and later objective reality. When we are first born we have a very subjective view of reality. We think we are gods because we intend for our needs to be met and alas they are. As we grow older we get indoctrinated with other people's beliefs about having to do x,y,z to make things work. That there is a larger order to life which we play a rather insignificant role in. We slowly have our magical view of the world sucked straight out of us. We reach a tipping point where we finally succumb to thinking that an objective view of reality is the only way to properly function in society. To view the world through subjective reality is no more full proof than objective reality. There are flaws in either view. The benefit of having seen life through multiple lenses affords many benefits though.
You reach a point where you see that life is not about proving facts but shifting perspectives. This is because many things can be both false and true at the same time. Your desperate attempt to disprove something to prove something else you can't prove is a wasted effort. Whether you believe the world is shifting around you or you are shifting to meet your needs it does not matter. The results will ultimately speak for themselves.
