Prejudice: To pre-judge someone based on differences. To me, prejudice is synonymous with ignorance. Hitler wanted an Aryan race. Countries all around the world at one time or another promoted slavery. Segregation. The idea that having more money than someone makes one better or worth more as a human, that their opinion matters more. Old people shouldn't drive. Young people shouldn't drive. Members of the LGBT community thinking Christians are all bigots. Christians thinking LGBT are sinners and belong in hell. WHEN WILL IT END? sadly never.
Our society as a whole just can't be bothered to care. There are many people who donate, give to charities, volunteer, adopt, and help in many other ways. There are those across the world who open their hearts and their homes to others in need. So what legacy will you leave behind? Will you teach your children to accept and understand or to hate and place blame without education?
I'm just disgusted and fed up with most of the world. I still hold out hope for a better tomorrow because I'm an idealist, but it seems the flame within that seeks fairness grows smaller every day. Wake up people, we're killing each other and our planet. No we can't all "get along", but we CAN choose to take the high road. An eye for an eye really does leave us walking around blind in more ways than one.
