tolerance.

it is so frustrating and disheartening to be an in an evironment that is intolerant and unjust. but as we know a lot of people have preconcieved notions about what certain people are like..perhaps this is based on fear or repeating bad experiences of a subset of people..but i refuse to beleive that people of any specific creed, gender, race, sexual orientation are "bad." The idea is not only ridiculous but it really makes me question humanity and makes me sick that we live in the world we live in.

Perhaps for some people, racism or religionism if such a word exists is based on their own set of experiences but we often find what we expect, if we expect that we will be treated in some unfair and unjust way unfortunately..most times than not..that is what the universe returns to us..and maybe our perceptions are based on some bad expreince we had..what is scary though about categorizing a whole group of people based on 1 bad experience or a hatred rooted in history is that we fail to recognize that each individual is more than just race..than gender..than sexual orientation..so when we base our hatred, dislike, or aversion for a certain person just because of their race or relgiion, we are asssumign that somehow that person is everything bad we had expereinced..and perhaps huamsn do this to protect themselves..but its disheartening to live in a world where before knowing a person..before talking to them..judgement is already made upon them based on their size, their color.
