IMPARTIALITY
If you really want to understand the world in which you live, you need to let go of your preferences, because if you continue to judge the world and people according to your likes and dislikes, regardless of how much they are based on irrefutable arguments, you will also continue to not understand anything, and by not understanding anything you will join the ranks of ignorance, regardless of whether you convince yourself that you have the enlightening and supreme reason on your side, and this will not only be a personal tragedy, it will also be your contribution to maintaining the ignorance of our humanity.
And please, avoid the cliché that one should not judge, because the very sentence that one should not judge is a judgment. Human beings need to judge, because without judgment there are no choices, and without choices there is no freedom.
Now, if you really want to understand the world in which you live, you need to develop impartiality, based on the principle that everything that exists responds to some need and, therefore, deserves respect, care and dignity, no matter how much this existence makes your insides revolt with disgust, because, after all, in the varied menu of preferences of our humanity, it is certain that you also provoke disgust in someone. If your mind does not judge impartially, no matter how pacifist you try to be, you will add fuel to the fire of ongoing conflicts, which are on the verge of turning into open war.
Impartiality prevents all wars.
What is really important is that you broaden your understanding of reality, because if you continue to cling to the same old points of view, you will probably miss the train of history and be left high and dry.
