All writers, including myself, are ultimately propagandists since it is nearly impossible to write on a subject without holding an opinion on that subject. We wish to influence the reader to adopt our way of thinking and the conclusions that spring from it, thus we will present our best argument in favor of the position we are discussing even when we make a genuine effort to be impartial."
Meditation Skill: Think about how you can't stop thinking. Write about how you can't not hold an opinion.
As you think about how you can't stop thinking, you try to figure out why you can't. As you write about how you can't not hold an opinion, you try to explain why.
Is it impossible to stop thinking because of what's going on around you? Is it impossible to not hold an opinion while writing because your experience is dictating a bias?
In my experience, what's going on around me became the focus of my thought. I didn't try to do the writing one.

Hey, I think because I think. I think in order to think. If it's jappening there is no how or why. You can get a spoken honest opinion out of me if you really try (and listen to me properly). All my opinions are in my art--the way I speak, not the words I say. *Embracing the bias* Without bias I have no personality. I could meditate myself to pure genuiness. Then I would be No One. I'm not that far up on the Brahman scale to accept that. I deny my ego nothing. I want to boast and express. And I do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics
