There's a difference between the consensus and subjective reality. Perceptions might seem to overlap, but everyone experiences something differently. Different emotions, different interpretations, so on and so forth. And no matter what language, there are usually no words to describe your personal experience as you feel it. Since everyone perceives everything differently, you'd think we'd all be excluded from one another. But culture works a consensus, which a lot of people ascribe to. Still, though, people interpret even the consensus reality in different ways. The fact that there's varying different scales of morality is proof of that.

Those are two really different ideas, though. Overlapping them is messy.
