While it is not always possible to convert our thinking, it is only a wise one who understands there can be a different way to look at things.<br /><br />MRC - Yes, we need to understand our flaws and work on them. That is the way to evolve. The sad bit is when people have closed minds.<br /><br />Reflections - Oh yes! I think teenagers are some of the cruelest people around, and I shiver to remember my own ways now.<br /><br />Rakesh - I am sure, blogging helps us understand people and thinking a lot more.<br /><br />Piper - you are? I would have never guessed. And what is all this 'pati' praising????

All of us hold some prejudices ,consciously or unconsciously absorbed from childhood, from seeing things done a particular way by one's parents or in the society one lives in. The trick is to slowly letting go of them as we grow up and see the world. As I write this, I realise that some time back, I've written about an incident where I had prejudged someone who later became a very good friend,here<br /><br />http://minisblog.blogspot.com/2006/08/t.html<br /><br />Come see :)MRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650179854013176989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-80528671227032352662010-02-14T12:13:08.500+10:002010-02-14T12:13:08.500+10:00I thought I had commented yesterday, obviously I d...I thought I had commented yesterday, obviously I didn't...<br /><br />This is a pet topic of mine...Every single person in this world is prejudiced, those who say they are not are lying...There are some who don't want to listen to another pov and there are some who listen (they may or may not change their views)...I am one of the latter...I always listen to an opposing pov because frankly, I don't know everything...It's always better to leave one's mind open than shut it with a heavy lid...Sraboneyhttp://ramblingsbybones.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-221110170928295392010-02-14T08:05:36.165+10:002010-02-14T08:05:36.165+10:00Soin - True, then why do we call others discrimina...<b><br />Soin - True, then why do we call others discriminating, when we do it ourselves?<br /><br />Smitha - I perfectly agree with what your dad says, Be the change you want to see.

I always remember him with a laugh. He was so small minded, that it is simply hilarious. He caould not have expanded his thinking capacity to the blind, he would have operation overload.<br />You know, he was surprised that I bought jeera/dhaniya powder from the market.

All we can do is really try get rid of it by trying to understand which prejudices we hold on to.
