What has been generally true in our own personal experiences and relationships probably has not been generally true in the personal experiences and relationships of other persons. Personal existential truths are true to each person; but they are not necessarily true in general, or in any objective, absolute or transcendent way. Whether people in any given community is found to be friendly or cold, depends greatly upon how the person who makes the finding approaches the members of the given community. Whether a person is found to be trustworthy depends upon the manner in which the person making the judgment relates to the person being judged. Whether students are seen as fast learners and creative depends greatly upon the teacher's expectations of the students; and how the teacher has related to the students as persons. Whether a political leader is a person of integrity depends greatly upon the expectations of the leader's constituents. Whether children left at home alone are trustworthy depends greatly upon the nature of the relationships between the children and the parents who are away from the home. Relatively few of the important truths in our daily lives are purely objective truths. Most of the important truths in our daily lives are in fact reflexive existential truths; and we need to share them with this fact in mind. We need to keep this fact in mind when other persons share their reflexive existential truths, and when they over generalize their own reflexive existential truths---treating them as absolute truths.
