Many a times I know the facts but my prejudices are so strong that I will ignore them and stick to my pre-concevied notions coz it so so much more convenient and easy. <BR/>And sometimes I will dig for facts which support my prejudices whereas the truth is staring at me in the face.<BR/>Objectivity is not always non-prejudiced coz its ones point of view based on ones experience, understanding, maturity etc etc.<BR/><BR/>--Aarti NemlekarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10388606.post-1153654868624631242006-07-23T04:41:00.000-07:002006-07-23T04:41:00.000-07:00There is a thin line of difference between prejudi...There is a thin line of difference between prejudice and "coloured opinion", while the former is always negative the latter is not. So whenever u have a preconceived notion about things(religious beliefs ingrained in childhood, et al)or people its not always Prejudice.<BR/>An ex. of prejudice could be the Sat Yuga (near perfect) society(during Ramayana) which questioned the bodily santity of SITA just because she was abducted by Ravana, their thought process being prejudiced by the moral codes of the day.<BR/>While complete objectivity or an "Open Mind" (antithetical to the state of being Prejudiced) in Humans is well nigh impossible the moot point is that given u r prejudiced how do u surmount or atleast circumvent it?!!!!!<BR/>Hope i have added enough Prejudice to the already prejudiced reader (and writer/commentator of course)!!!!<BR/><BR/>- Aloke Hardas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
