Simplified Meaning:

Everyone has their own opinions and beliefs that shape the way they think about things. Even when people try to be fair and open-minded, these personal views can still influence their judgments. For example, if a person grew up believing that certain actions are always wrong, they might find it hard to stay completely neutral when asked to judge someone who did those actions. In our legal system, we expect jurors to be fair and unbiased, but the truth is, people bring their life experiences, personal values, and subconscious biases with them. Imagine picking a team for a game, and you’re supposed to choose players without any favoritism. Even if you try your best, you might still lean towards picking your friends or people you think look strong, based on your own experiences. This quote reminds us that true impartiality is very difficult because everyone views the world through their own unique perspective. To apply this understanding in life, it's important to recognize and acknowledge our own biases. Being aware of them can help us work towards being as fair and objective as possible in our decisions and judgments. It’s also helpful to listen to and understand different viewpoints, as this can balance out our innate biases.
