BIAS


Just imagine, you have your eyes covered with a piece of clothe. In one hand you have an apple, and in the other one apple with a slice of orange. You are told to pick one side. And you choose the hand with an apple, because it seems stupid to you, an apple with slice of orange.
Why?
Because, apple is red and sweet. Orange is a bit bitter and orange. It doesn't go with the apples. It's a "Misfit".

That's exactly what we do in our society. We don't want diversity. We think we are superior. We judge alot. That's why we have gender bias societies where women are targeted. We have Racism and many other such prejudice we give, unnecessarily. On class, creed or color.

 I call it "Bias" rather than a misfit. Because you are not accepting someone else's differences and uniqueness. You just want to see what's similar to you.

"We don't see things as they are we see things as we are." Anais Nin

And you know what it ends up in...?
You start taking sides to defend that particular identity rather than taking side of what is true and more moral. 

What's best to do?
Accept everyone's uniqueness.
What's common?
We all are humans. And God's creation.
What to practice?
Tolerance, Patience and Respect!
We can't control the filters that others choose when they look at us.

You can only control yourself...accept, tolerate and respect one another...
Do this and the world will become a better place for everyone!
