Someone 1: She is my girl….see her blue eyes, speaking our love.
Someone 2: What’s there in that caty eyes..I don’t see anything..seems you are lost in her love..
Hmm.. there are certain facts which we need to accept as such. Say for example, pure water is colorless always…do you see it differently?
Said that, many a times we are driven by emotions or passions and we miss to evaluate things objectively..
Actually can we really do an objective evaluation when we are too much attached to the subject?..and moreover we all are biased in some way or other…And see different things in the same image as posted here

I think some subjects are hard to be objective about. I suppose it is about engaging our critical brain thought processes and try I g to keep an open mind

I am very emotionally attached to the P vs NP computer problem because of its complexity and paradoxicalness. By being objective, I become increasingly closer to the “subject”. The same can also be said about humans. I can only help X out of his misery if he lets me examine him without the slightest embellishment of his character. By being objective I am solving a problem, him.
I think the world would be a much better place if we treated problematic, confused humans (they would first have to tell us that they’re in need) like mathematical equations or rubik’s cubes. If we remain subjective, (attributing positive or negative claims, statements to his or her character without evidence) we will only add to his or her characters obscurity. That has never helped and will never help.
Thank you for your little blog! You’ve inspired me to write one now about a similar subject! 🙂

It’s nearly impossible to do an objective evaluation when you have the slightest attachment to the subject in question. However if anyone’s capable of that, then they are extraordinary humans indeed. Not everyone is capable of doing that.

Your post reminds me of the ‘blue eyes’ that speak volumes in novels. But your interpretation, wow!
Is not that human nature, to ignore the shortcomings of your loved ones and only see shortcomings in the ones that you don’t fall in the ‘tolerable’ category? It is how we choose to see it, alley Akhi?
