Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. Oscar Wilde

Have you ever shared an unbiased opinion?

Do you believe that you can ever really be impartial?

It’s easy and, at times, reassuring to think that you can, in effect, share an opinion or thought that is void of bias but probably impossible.

You see, your experiences color every opinion you share, and even if you try to prevent your experience from influencing your judgment, it’s already too late.

The ultimate bias lies in self-preservation.

The ultimate flaw in opinions is the need and desire to be or at least appear to be correct, right, or intelligent.

If you really want to express an unbiased opinion, then it’s essential to know and acknowledge that you do indeed have biases. And perhaps even more critical, when you’re seeking advice or the opinion of others, realize that they, too have biases.

The next time you’re swayed by or being influenced by the opinions of others, keep in mind that they’re based on their experiences, not yours. And if you’re ever asked for your unbiased opinion, then be honest and say that you’ll be happy to share your opinion, but it will not be unbiased.
