Can two people look at the same object and yet see completely different objects? Doesn't the object have an independent existance outside of our perception? If so, then how can people see something so different when observing the same thing. When arguing over what something is, you wonder how the other person can possible see something different from what you observe. You mentally put yourself in the other person's shoes and try to observe what he observes, but try as you might, you cannot see the thing any different from what you yourself have already observed.

But if you consider that the thing is language, you realize that different people can observe the same piece of writing and yet it appears completely different to each. If I tried to read Hindi text I would be completely lost while millions in India could read this with no problem. We see the same text but interpret it differently because of the wiring in our brain.

I think judgement, reason, logic, emotions, scientific observations, and so much more are dependent on the wiring in our brain. So when two people observe a phenomenon, it can be true that one is reading English while the other is reading Hindi.
