We Think We Are Being Neutral
what happens in front of us
is shadowed in a variety of ways
by our perceptions, and preconceived beliefs
four of us see a truck run into a car
none of us see it exactly the same
we all think we are being neutral
neutrality is a concept we do not grasp
none of us can write it up completely nonbiased
without feelings, impressions, experience, and prior knowledge
What we report is not devoid of emotions.
We think it is, but it cannot be.
We cannot eliminate our humanness.
