Thread Name: BS: My Prejudices
Subject: RE: BS: My Prejudices
We all have prejudices. Some are identified in this thread with an awareness that it's something that needs to be worked on. Some are almost presented as a badge of honor. I think that it's self-destructive to become comfortable with our prejudices. And I agree with Deda. We can feel good that we don't act in any blatant way on our prejudices, but some are very subtle and hard to root out. I have prejudices that I have to continually work on that may not be obvious because I don't speak about them to others or act upon them.
Prejudices of the heart poison oneself, whether they are ever expressed or acted upon.
