 IMPARTIALITY

Impartiality is the excellent manifestation of human conscience, everything that is below it happens to the detriment of our humanity.

Conscience, by its very nature and reason for being, is impartial, contemplates the world with the necessary equanimity to subsequently, and within the reach of the personality, decide and choose and, thus, develop the complex experience of being human among heaven and earth.

We can, therefore, be inclined to be more human or less human, but we do not have the option or the capacity to be anything other than human.

What makes us human is conscience, which by its very nature and reason for being is impartial, and around the greater or lesser impartiality we choose in our judgments we will determine, for ourselves, whether we are more or less human than we can be. 

One thing is certain, we are less human when we pull the sardines to the side of the reasons we have, even though we are not sure or completely convinced; we are less human when we stop dialoguing to avoid that reasons that disagree with ours may eventually be more correct than ours; we are less human when we take sides and are partial in our judgments of reality.

And we are less human when we assert, from the height of morality, that we should not judge, while it is completely impossible for us to be human and not judge, because without judgment there is no free will.

When we are able to accept and understand everything that is involved in each existential moment, without preferring or rejecting anything, and through impartiality we are able to see the broadest and most inclusive panorama possible, then and only then do we experience the excellence of our humanity.
