I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No human trait deserves less tolerance in everyday life, and gets less, than intolerance.
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.
It is, therefore, essential that we guard our own thinking and not be among those who cry out against prejudices applicable to themselves, while busy spawning intolerances for others.
Other people have noticed more of an evolution than I have and so I'll try to tell you where I'm coming from and also relate it to what I think other people perceive.
We are all naturally xenophobic.
Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
Whatever the evolutionary basis of religion, the xenophobia it now generates is clearly maladaptive.
I'm far from immune to the American, perhaps historically male, prejudice toward practical and physical competence; I hope I've also considered that prejudice enough to have some distance from it.
No shortcomings of other people cause us to be more intolerant than those which are caricatures of our own.
