Overcoming Prejudices, Facing up to Inconvenient Truths - Key to Peace and Coexistence

I think if we believe in one creator who is impartial and that we are all his children, it is easier to get over these problems. Personally, I used to think of homeless people as untouchables because they are dirty and smelly and such. But a few years ago when someone pointed that out to me my husband and I took up to serving them in shelters. Now after facing the giant my attitude has changed.

I try to live a good, kind life. That's about it really.

I have found an easy way and that is to pick and choose who I am comfortable with and it works for me Wallowing over situations and wondering if I could have handled them better is what I do not do now. I just leave them there and move on.

I give myself a lecture every so often.

I am learning g to shed my prejudices as I grow older.live and let live.

I've never had prejudices. I only know that you should never judge others.

One has to learn a lot to live such a life.

We are not born with prejudices. We learn them from our environment. When we learn to reason then we realize how unreasonable they are and that we should get rid of them. It is not easy to get rid of them when the world feeds them but we can do it and we need to do it.

I have different reaction on different time depends on time and situation and mood.

I had a wonderful father, he taught me never to judge people and accept the others as they are, we are all only humans with our problems and our pains. I live my life without judging the others.

My parents always told us treat others as you would like to be treated and I think I am a kind person but do not like to see people taken advantage of. Sometimes it is better to keep quiet than to say something nasty!

Slowly, I have been letting go of my prejudices. It's very difficult to do, but it can be done. Sometimes, however, they creep back in, due to others' behaviors. It's not easy then to forgive and forget.

It is often said that conscious awareness brings us choice, so that we can change, and so not be so prejudiced against others, or live from falsely held onto beliefs, and non-truths, held unknowingly by us in our unconscious minds, placed there by both others and ourselves, and then largely forgotten about, after they served whatever purpose they might have served originally for us at the time. This unconscious self is not the same as our servant self, our soul, our higher self, nor our other inner selves. The unconscious or subconscious are merely tools of acquiring automatised actions that can be repeated themselves, and so, if repeated unconsciously forever, they become non-serving to us then. We need to constantly try to become more aware of what is controlling us unconsciously, and prompting us to act in ways that are not serving us, or helping us to grow into better people in this life. Prejudiced thinking never serves us, nor anyone else.

We need to become more consciously aware.

Truth hurts and it is the same with prejudice. You will have a very precise idea of judgment if you know the correct criteria.
