Are you objective?

Question

what is the process for seeing things for what they are? (in your words)

I can't choose a best answer on a question like this ;)

Answer 1

The most important thing is to be logical, and that will greatly assist your objective viewpoint.

Answer 2

I always try to be objective. There are certain subjects and arguments that I try, but fail. My given name means "one that is just". I do fit that for the most part. In debat class, I was able to argue both, if not three sides, of a subject into a stalemate. But there are still those few subjects that I just can;t be objective with. That just goes to show that everyone has thir own views, but only some are willing to look at the other side of the coin.

Answer 3

Hi,
In some matters I am too close and it's hard not to be subjective. Especially when it comes to emotional issues and concerns I try to be objective but if I need reassurance I phone my sister who can always give an opinion or offer support from an unbiased perspective. Whenever I make decisions concerning other people I try to be objective and I can do this by considering all sides of the issue and seeing things through their eyes.

We have to accept that every thing is objective. Things like the culture we’re in the language we speak and our sex all influence our decisions weather we want them too or not. Once we accept that we can start to imagine what it would be like to be some one else looking at the same thing. Then anther and another to infinity or as many as we have time for anyways. Its more like an objectivity scale and we want to be at the one end even though we know we will never get to it we want to be as close to it as we can.

Answer 5

No one is objective. The staunchest physical scientist is himself subjective else he could not affect to be in and of an objective state. The subjective is steady state and constant. It is the 'hu' in human. The objective is but a pod, an equippage, donned when needed and as quickly cast aside when not. The subjective ever remains; conscious and not, it is sentient; it is the core in the experiencer of life and ensures that balance persists in same.

Answer 6

Very hard to be I am sure you agree we see things subjectively based on our own lives our lenses of life experience and we have to control our feelings because the reality is sometimes harder to see and admit and take the truth in ................

The reality is the objective thing that is there but sometime its hard to face the truth but we must look at in in an objective way and mentally we will be of sound mind if we do so............
so easily said then done though :))))

Answer 7

Be still and listen, not to words, but to the "secret that sits in the center and knows." It is there. We all have it. We just have to be quiet enough to hear it. We have to quiet the mind that wants to tell us all we have put into it and how important it all is, but it was there all along though we never heard it. It is like a nice home, we can't see the beauty because of all the clutter. Clear the clutter and voila!

Answer 8

No one is entirely objective, since we each live inside our own subjective minds and see the world thru our own subjective eyes. Objectivity is a continuum, and is only present in varying degrees at any given time on any given subject. Since there is no such thing as an entirely objective viewer, there is no entirely objective truth.

Answer 9

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and gasp at the fact that anything at all exists. It's before philosophy. It's before judging and evaluating. It's before language, even.

So anything I say about it is kind of "too late" and necessarily figurative.

But it's like knowing being with being ... in a knowing that is in awe and in love.

(It's the only thing I trust. It's the only thing I know I know.)

Answer 10

At a certain point, there is no other choice. Only stripping away the learned identity allows objectivity.
