More random thinking...

chaletianAh, more pseudo-philosophical ramblings...
Further to my earlier musings, is it possible to have an objective world at all? If every person experiences life through their own lenses, making it uniquely their own and not shared with any other, is there such a thing as ‘the world’? Because who would be aware of it? If no one can see it (and I use ‘see’ loosely), can it be said to exist, or is just a theoretical construct to bring together otherwise separate individuals? You can walk part someone on the road, but if no-one notices, it has not happened. You do not notice, so it is not part of your world. He has not noticed so it is not part of his. If there is no-one else to record it, then it cannot be said to have happened.
Is it possibly that such a thing as the Truth exists, independently of any individuals?
