I ask this so that you will keep delving deeper down, which if and when you go deep enough, then you will discover that there actually is a way to look and see all things from a completely objective viewpoint that does show reality for what it actually is.
Can you give an example?
Some thing that you understand completely objectively, that you know as 'what it actually is'?
I will try to show some thing I understand completely objectively through three sub-examples, and then in a fourth example;
1. If human beings are open, then they can learn more. If human beings are believing, then they are closed (or not open). If human beings are closed, then they can not learn more. If human beings are not believing (nor assuming) anything, then they are remaining open. If human beings remain open, then they can continue to learn
even more.
2. If every thing is agreeing upon on some thing as being 'what it actually is', then there is no thing to say that it is not actually that. If no thing is disagreeing, then, for all accounts, that appears to be 'what it actually is'.
3. If every thing is agreeing that the earth is flat, and thus agreeing that is 'what it actually is', and no one is disagreeing, then as far as it appears to every thing that is 'what it actually is'. That is fine, however, if human beings then start to believe that that the earth is flat, then that is a very foolhardy thing to do, as they have now become closed. It is foolhardy because If they are closed, then they can not learn any more nor anything new. The Truth may actually be the earth is not flat, but if all human beings believe it is flat, then they are not open to discovering and learning the Truth.
What I know as 'what it actually is' and understand completely objectively is that if all human beings are believing (in) some thing, then they are not open to any new or any more knowledge regarding that thing.
For example, if absolutely every human being believes the earth is the center of the Universe, then there is no one human being open to this "truth" being anything else - the real Truth or 'what it actually is'. However, if there is just one human being who does not believe this agreed upon and so called "truth or fact" wholeheartedly, and thus they are remaining open, then they are able to learn more and newer knowledge.
