Biased

Probability of getting a number changes when a biased dice is used; people who tend to side one party when the choices are given; situations where there are no such words as fair and justice. Biased in nature, that’s who we are, does not matter whether we are the son of a mother or daughter of the father. We choose what we think would be the best, for the people we care, for us. Does that not counted as biased? The only difference would be the intentions of decisions being made. We choose to go out with the person who brings joy and smiles onto our faces, we pick the subjects we are interested in or the ones which would fulfill our desires and dreams when we are given the chance, we side the party we are closer with or more fond of, be it in an argument, a match or a competition. The moment we are overwhelmed by our emotions, the moment we fail to take control of our actions and the moment we toss aside our rationality and calmness, are the moments where we react to the situations without us realizing we are actually being biased. Very often, we assume the negligibility of circumstances, of emotions, of people, especially when we are the ones who make the decisions, who blame the others. Biased or not, is actually hard to tell, for people may think we are one-sided and us thinking them being biased in certain occasions, for we are all separate individuals.
