Being objective

No one, no matter how smart or tolerating he/she is, can be totally objective. That's simply something above human abilities: Nobody is perfect. But what we all can and should do is (at least in my opinion) to try to approximate perfection, meaning to try to be as objective as our abilities allow us to be. If we can achieve such a step, then almost all our unfair debates would be solved.

Objective has nothing to do with one's religion, one's ethnicity or one's culture. It's just a simple way which enables human beings to understand and tolerate their as well as other's opinions, even though both may differ (drastically).

Why does being objective NOT offend being religious? First of all being objective stands for the fact that each one has his own opinions, his own points of view, including his religious points of view. Second: some religions ask us to show others the right path and advise them in an appropriate way. Well, this, too, isn't against being objective. You can simply say your opinion in an objective way, which would make you fulfil what is required from you and still stay in the objective limit. For instance, I can say: Well, my religion tells me so and so. I have to do so and so. I believe in what I'm doing, though others are doing the contrary. (If I'm close to these others I can talk to them in private and discuss it with them if they want.)

Other than that no religion or belief or any other religious belongings ask anyone to do more than what I just mentioned. Besides, as far as Islam is concerned, I don't think tolerating with people who do the thing I don't do (or I'm not allowed to do because of my religion) or accepting what they do after advising them or disagreeing (by words, attitude or 'by my heart') with them in a proper way is a sin.

Last but not least, being objective is what prevents us from being either moral or 'principle-less', from being either radical or careless, from belonging to either extremes in any political, religious, cultural field.

I would love to be objective, actually I'm proud of choosing the tolerating way to express my opinion and I hope God will help me stay on the right path. :)
