Being able to take a step back and see subjects, siuations and problems as what they are, based on facts, proofs and truths, unfettered by personal experience, opinions or anecdote.

I think it's a worthwhile pursuit, but I also accept that we often fail to be truly objective for reasons of expediency, motive or more commonly, emotion.
