This is a problem for everyone who writes, because when we talk, write, etc., what we say typically represents our world view. So in a way this is a trivial comment, just as mine here is. Barry, Robin, Judy, Ravi, me and everyone else, we all write from our worldview POV. Sidestepping that view might be difficult. For example, if you 'hate' Barry, you could practise writing things that praise what he does. This is actually a spiritual technique - if you have a certain political persuasion, watch or listen to opponents of the view you feel is correct and see what happens in your experience. Views that are highly polarised against some particular situation, perhaps, represents getting one's buttons pushed rather than wisdom, that is, we are acting mechanically in response to that situation, we cannot control our response, or see mulitiple possibilities. Do you like ice cream?
