Summary

This quote suggests that true impartiality is most easily achieved when discussing topics that one does not have a personal interest in. When we have a vested interest or strong personal attachment to a subject, it can cloud our judgment and make it difficult to provide a completely unbiased opinion. By removing personal biases and attachments, we are more able to objectively analyze and evaluate the matter at hand, resulting in a truly unbiased opinion.
