Prejudice
How does prejudice develop? How do we evaluate a person's character? By what are we conditioned in our interpersonal relationships? The answer to all these questions is that a man's antecedents are what guide us. If we can develop the ability to look on a person at this instant as a fresh, unknown entity, unconditioned by any past, then we will develop the capacity to see the real person and not merely the external, tortured human being that everybody sees. Then an objective ability develops which penetrates beyond the external veils and sees the truth within.
