Judge's plight

The great uneasiness from  a judge's position: -

Impartiality cannot be compromised and is non-negotiable.

Neutrality is preferable irrespective of the issue.

Bias and prejudices may be inherently present and may manifest as a result of normal human emotional vulnerabilities due to some sort of affinity or personal relationship or as a sense of gratitude.

In addition to all these factors there may be psychological uneasiness, sometimes, caused due to conflicting and contradictory positions between what is socio-cultural morality wise preferred and practiced and what is legally correct or wrong.

Judges can not be expected to hypocritically take a please all and satisfy all position.

Their communication must be diplomatically worded conveying firmness without sounding rude.
