Have an open mind?
I know it’s the “in” thing to claim you’re open-minded, but the next person that claims to be and gets proven wrong gets a virtual slap in the face! It’s amazing that someone will say they are open-minded, and then go off on a rant about how they know all about someone based on a single sentence they said. Do you even know the meaning of prejudice? Having a bias without knowing the true situation is pretty much the definition of not being open-minded. I’m beginning to think that someone claiming to have an open mind is exactly opposite of that; It’s like prefacing a comment with “Some of my best friends are black ….”
It’s a simple thing, really, just accepting someone the way they are. If you don’t know them, either learn more about them or reserve judgment.
