I would agree with what I perceive as your affirmation of subjective realities and different points of view. It's an important philosophy that most of the rest of the world ignores. Unfortunately, though, believing in subjective reality does not mean that one can't take one's own stand on an issue. It does mean that when one takes a stand, one is more open to changing one's mind when proven wrong, and that one is probably a better listener. Criticism is vital for progress.
