Quote of the Day Summation for Chapter Three - Acknowledge your Prejudices

Posted by JamusDeus on August 7, 2010 at 8:43pm in Spirituality In General
In what ways do I exclude?

How do I contribute to intolerance?

What are my blind spots?

We are all prejudiced because of the way we experience the world...

When we don't know we generally first think negatively.

The unknown, the different, is usually construed as negative...

Our values, beliefs, attitudes and world views are shaped in childhood.

Our individual sense of right and wrong is inextricably linked to our tolerance for difference.

We often interpret different as wrong based on our belief systems.

Prejudice is personal.

Acknowledging prejudices leads to greater self-knowledge.

Acknowledging prejudices allows us to listen with a new ear.

Acknowledging prejudices is the first step to managing them.

    Nice post again....
    "Open Your Mind", is a very well known quote globally...but very few are the ones who actually apply these few words on their daily lives...

      this was a challenging chapter to go through as I felt that it was sided.... a good experience for me to personally see where I am at with how I viewed prejudice and how I have changed that view from accepting the feelings that came up in the process and allowing myself to be imperfect......Wait...did I just state that.........Cool.

"Yes, I definitely agree. At least Zia Yusef cleared up that weird glitch for us, on 24th Feb. It’s good to see someone in that party doing the right thing. We don’t have the time or the patience for people pleasers lol."

"Agreed Movella...Frankly I have no idea why Farage would use such defeatist words, but I look at his shadow home secretary making an official speech on the topic of deportations and feel assured....That speech was on the 24th Feb, so undoubtedly…"

"It was an interesting result in the Gorton & Denton byelection, in which the 100-year Labour "safe seat," was taken from them, destroying Starmer and ending two-party politics in the UK....The Greens won it and although I would have preferred…"

"I looked into it quickly and found that Farage did in fact say those words that AE quoted at a press conference on 17th February. I still believe that Reform is the best option available for the UK at the moment, but I will admit that Farage is not…"
