When Biases Hurt and Respect Heals

Showing respect (RIP Ku, Sept 19, 2008)
Post Written By Eugene Morgan

We all have biases. However, biases can hurt. We aren’t defined by biases of others and our biases shouldn’t define others.

Therefore, we shouldn’t impose our biases on others, instead we need to learn how to get to know the person. Biases are easily made when we don’t know the other person.

We’re all unique people but with similarities. Respecting others is the first step of letting go of our biases. If we want to be treated with respect, then it must start with us.

We don’t have to wait for someone to show us respect, but to be model examples by showing others respect. When we show respect towards another person, their hostility towards us will decrease.

Biases can hurt but respecting others can be healing.
