There are a few things I like about myself, a few I dont and few more I think I should hate but dont seem to care. One such things is my prejudice.

I seem to be full of it. I am not sure when and how I developed it. I dont think I had as much of it in high school or maybe I did. I am not sure. As such this is something negative, but this one of those negatives I dont conciously think about or care.

For instance I seem to have loads of prejudice against people who dont dress well, who are not articulate, whom I think of as not smart enough. All according to my standard. What amazes me most is my prejudice against people who I think are not good looking. I am surprised, this coming from me. I have always hated the fact that people judge me by my looks. And still I am no different. I remember Ann my counselor say one day, that I am like her mother I judge people. I didnt mind then and I dont mind now. Still it seems to bother albeit a little just a little...
