Melvina Germain - (701) PREJUDICE

A thought provoking heart wrenching subject.
So many individuals become thoroughly
engrossed in this so called prejudice, wasting
much valuable time in life itself.
I believe, prejudice is a fear held within one-self.
Not allowing ourselves the freedom to enjoy
the differences of others.
Very simply said, “the combination of fear and
despair, mixed with the anxiety of difference,
including the trauma of change, creates the inner
crippling of prejudice”.
Positive measures must be taken in order to clear
ourselves of such a horrific disease. Yes,
prejudice is a disease, a disease of the heart so- to
-speak. A very disabling disease at that.
How could the color of ones skin, or the difference
of religion or in fact the way one dresses be
possibly a factor in the decision of the like-ability
of any human being.
Of course in order to generate love to others, we
must first love ourselves. Creating a positive
environment in which we live is crucial. Getting rid
of, washing away all negative forces. Clear our
minds, by cleansing our innermost thoughts.
This doesn’t happen over-night as holds true with
any disease, it will take time to overcome.
Prejudice is another demon and must be dealt with
head-on, and buried. When you awaken from this
darkness, I say to you “Welcome to the light, it is
now your turn to enjoy the many beautiful people
of this earth. Remember “We are all created equal.”
