Contempt: Apr 1 2010

By al-Din on April 2, 2010 12:08 PM

Is there such a thing as ego-meter for everyone of us. I believe there is. It is but a subjective one. It varies from individual to individual depending on age, upbringing, genetics, education, exposure, circumstances and other variables. The ego-meter reading will fluctuate within certain range over the years. Even for an individual it may vary within the day depending on health condition, temperament, events in the past hour or days.

A good and level-headed judge must already set his or her ego-meter reading to a stable and professional level so that the myriad of influencing factors do not cloud in passing a fair judgement in any case. A judge is trained to do that within the law and norms and yet in a humanistic way.

Again being human, we are subject to tendencies. One has to live with conscience.
