Prejudice On Parade

My prejudice is on parade when I say it out loud attempting to “enlighten” the crowd.

Frankly, many don’t want to see your parade float or listen to you gloat about something that just can’t stay afloat.

I’ve said many times that many of our prejudices are inherited. They really belonged to someone else. We just absorbed them before we even knew what the word “absorbed” meant. That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for them. We are.

We often make arguments to justify our prejudices. That’s when you know someone is steeped in deep do-do. Perhaps that’s you.

What to do?

To outgrow prejudices, you have to recognize you have them. Then, one-by-one, expose them to the sun. Bring them out into the light of day. That’s the first step in making them go away.

You’ll have to sun them more than a single time to get them to die on the vine.

When you notice a prejudice rear its ugly head, laugh to yourself instead. Find the humor in espousing something you had nothing to do with getting, and before too long you’ll witness yourself do less fretting.

When your prejudice calms down, conflict, less often, comes around.

If you truly want to be in a parade and show your stuff, practice being a little less gruff by not saying something prejudicial off the cuff.

All the best,

John
