Accepting everybody
Every
person you meet has something special to give you that is, if you are open to
receiving it. Everybody can
be described as weird or strange in some way. You know who I am
talking about. Everyone has that weird neighbor, who you can’t figure out, or
that strange relative that seems to make bad decisions, or the co-worker that
says some of the strangest things, or that kid in school who has few social
skills. When you picture these people in your mind, how do you feel toward
them? Do you enjoy knowing them by letting them be who they are, or do you get
frustrated or even angry because of the person they are? Accepting everyone in
this world today is not a common thing you see. People judge on a daily basis
and they never seem to ask why they are saying that stuff about a certain
person, they just are. But the real question is why? Why judge people and not
accept them for who they are. Just because someone isn’t just like you doesn’t
mean there weird just mean they’re different from you. I try my best to accept
everyone for who they are but I sometimes catch myself taking or listening to
others about what they have to say about that person and it seems to change my
mind, and we all know we shouldn’t base how we feel off other peoples opinions.
Accepting everyone for how they look, what they wear, the style they like, or
the music they listen to. Why do we let those things change how we feel about
people? There is no answer and if there is not an answer to something more then
likely it is not the right thing to do. Accept others; let people be who they
want to be without feeling judged by the people around them.

Prejudice is so ingrained in our society that we often don't even realize or acknowledge when we practice prejudiced behaviors. I think many prejudices are values learned from parents/teachers/other adults and actions we emulate as children, in other words, we behave as we see others act. As adults we have the ability to stop this cycle, by practicing love and acceptance for the younger generations around us.
