While the conscious realm necessitates both a subject and an object, no particular subject necessitates any particular object.
Just because a certain quality of subjective experience was present along with a certain objective content under one set of conditions, does not necessitate that it will not accompany an objective content of a different, perhaps opposite kind, under different conditions, at another time.
A person (A) may experience a terrifying fear and nausea when confronted with heights, while a person (B) may experience the same quality of terror and discomfort when exposed to snakes, for example.
Conversely, a given objective content may correlate, depending on the circumstances, with subjective qualities of divergently dissimilar "feel" or "taste".
For example, the same objective condition of being submerged in water can produce panic in person (X) and a sense of relaxing pleasure in person (Y). Furthermore, these two divergent types of responses may be exhibited by the same person at different stages of life.
There is nothing intrinsic about heights, snakes, water, or about objective content of any given kind, that would per se, correspond to any given way of responding to them. Anything goes with anything.
