Remember, when you point a finger at someone, three more fingers are pointing back at you... ;D

Be warned, though. People tend to be subjective when presenting their views.

"true love is life's best treasure.
wealth and fame may pass away,
bring no joy or lasting pleasure.
true love abides all way.
through the world i'll gladly go,
if one true love i know."

Bottom line is, be objective.
Objectivity means being able to assess what is real without being biased by self-interest, tribalism, agenda, ideology, or emotion. We think of objectivity as being particularly important in the work of scientists and judges, but in reality it is of value in any role that involves decision making. Without objectivity fairness and accuracy suffer, and far to easily we end up doing harm when we are trying to do good.

When we demonstrate an ability to be objective, other people seek our opinions, particularly in conflict situations. Our objectivity becomes a community resource. :) ;)

What if the community itself adapts a subjective attitude? Therefore, has a bigoted mentality? The consensus decision-making will then be focused on a distorted mirror.
Should that happen, your opinion will fall into deaf ears. Hehehe.

That's when the issue becomes political. You gotta convince the community that they're wrong. See what me getting at? :) ;)

Betya be like Taal Volcano. Peaceful, calm and serene one day. Then, spewing molten lava everywhere the next day. ;D ;D ;D

Not fair. More spread out, actually. Oh, well, perhaps, when confronting you. For obvious reasons, rather focus on quotes. Hehehe. :D ;)
