This makes me think the electrons inside your brain are moving in service of
the principles of justice you integrated into your personality, and also
according to some intuitive (fuzzy, as in Zadeh's fuzzy logic) notions of
what justice is and who's has the main guilt in a particular case. Also, the
law text are give, but there are also give their interpretations? And, if
so, the interpretations of the interpretations, and the interpretations of
the interpretations of the interpretations? Maybe electrons do not
understand such understanding of principles, yet they are (they act) in
service of such understanding. Either one has meaning popping out of
meaninglessness (emergentism) or he has meaning everywhere (panpsychism).

I think we move inside a world whose meanings we are to find them out, for
there's no life without personal involvement. Life is reality and reality is
alive. Ultimately, these words, "existence", "reality", "life", "soul", they
mean the same thing. Objectivism commits the inadvertence of leaving the
observer out of its story. But, there's no story and no objectivism, thus,
in lack of an observer.

What we do not live we do not comprehend, for, if we had it comprehended,
then we were already living it, for it were then a part of our life (soul).
Objectivism seems to be reducing everything to objects, including the
experience of having objects. The only problem is that it conceives the
objects as un-experiential, as void of life. Then life does not exist at
all. But, such a conclusion is counterfactual, for we already live.

Existentialism is thus in service of the better Nietzsche, of his love for
living, love for the life in itself.
