  The difference is obvious, and never doubted.

  We're talking *explicitly* about stories here.

  The language I've learned, (though other's doubtlessly
  have different words or phrases for it,) is:

    "day language"  vs.  "night language"

  Day language speaks to the objective reality of the world.
  (Science is over here.)

  Night language speaks to the subjective reality of the world.
  ("Meaning" is over here.)

  Some language is both --
  -- it could be interpreted either way.
  "We're all part of the universe," is an example.

  This isn't "ignoring" anything;  We take it head on,
  and make it explicit in our stories about ourselves.

  We live in both worlds.
  Subjective reality exist, and can be shared.

  Does this answer your concern?
