Actually, anything that we write is subjective in the sense that we choose what references that we will use. That is, one may choose Greek mythology, current poets, Yogic Philosophy, Edgar Allan Poe....and all of those are subjective choices.
If, for no other reason than we cannot reasonably include everything ever written, which would be the only way to be objective. So, there is nothing wrong with being subjective since we will choose those things that support our points of view, and that is the very nature of subjectivity, whether or not the things we choose are codified in past or present laws, from the Torah, scientific in nature, famous literature, our own ideas, Biblical, etc.
Examples from other sources do not automatically make an essay objective.
