Situation is neither objective nor subjective but a relation of surpassing.

Evidence

The situation exists only in correlation with the surpassing of the given toward an end. It is the way in which the given which I am and the given which I am not are revealed to the For-itself which I am in the mode of not-being it. When we speak of situation therefore we are speaking of a “position apprehended by the For-itself which is in situation.” It is impossible to consider a situation from the outside; it is fixed in a form in itself. Consequently the situation can not be called either objective nor subjective although the partial structures of this situation (the cup which I use, the table on which I lean, etc.) can and must be strictly objective. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 1277
