At first, I want to explain what these words generally mean. Prejudice is an unfavourable opinion or feeling formed beforehand and without knowledge, thought or reason. An obstinate or intolerant devotion to one´s opinions and attitude is characteristic for bigotry, though. When I was young my parents told me to be kind to people. They told me not to judge about someone because you never know his reasons. You can´t even guess what he might think in this moment, and even if you can you can´t be sure of what you think is a right explanation for his or her behaviour. Sometimes it isn´t easy to follow this principle. Today is Saturday and I know when I´m going to school next Monday there will be rumours about someone. Maybe whispered in the toilet cabins or in class before the teacher comes in. Sometimes I´m ashamed of what people talk about others. Shitty comments that have nothing to do with personality. Easy dropped from high above. But there are moments when I say something like: “Oh, this shirt is hideous, I would never wear that.”, too. Why? I don’t know. Honest. It just pops up in my mind like an unpleasant reminder, that even if I don’t want to be like that, I have no control about it every single time. Unfortunately, my tongue is faster than my second thought these times. But I swear, I try my best. Maybe you're just wondering why I'm bothering. Why I´m trying not to judge about people because of their way to think, talk or dress. I guess that’s easy to explain, because you already know the answer. Imagine you would be treated that way. Somebody doesn’t know anything about you but talks shit behind your back, nevertheless. Yeah, you´re right I shouldn´t care about it. It shouldn´t bother me. And I´ve always wanted to be one of those people, who didn´t really care that much about what other people thought about them. But I just don´t think I am. And the following is one reason what makes this good for. I don´t want to make the same mistakes twice, like they do.                    There is another question: Is such behaviour of intolerance inherited or learned over time and are there any reasons for it? I would say that nobody of us was born like this. With the desire to impose prejudice on people. Not even the children of the biggest bigots the earth has ever seen. Everybody is created equal. But the thing is, that when you grow up and your first years are passing by you can´t decide what´s wrong or right. You haven´t got a clue by then. As an innocent creature you trust you parents, your family or at least the people around you and you´re wide away from the thought that not everything what they´re doing is correct, kind or accepted in our society. And while you´re being so unadulterated, they educate you to become like them step by step. Not because they are vicious, no, they believe to do the right thing. This is just normal. Your parents raised you like they thought it would be good, too.                                                                         Why shouldn´t they? Everybody does. And now imagine how hard must it be to change your way of thinking, respectively their views on things, against other points of view. As far as I can see this is not easy at all, but it must be tried, or we would live in a society where there is no law and no Code of Conduct. Earth would be a place of mistrust, hatred and narrow-mindedness, because no one would listen, and everyone would talk. We would build ourselves castles of prejudice and intolerance, would plant walls of roses around it, would shut the windows, would lock the doors up, would stand above on the highest tower screaming, not knowing the world, but paint fanatic pictures in our head. This isn´t a place where you would like to be, right? Me either. So, push the doors open and let the wind sweep you off your feet.
