Because we’re each operating in our own, self-fabricated world, we are sometimes offended by things that weren’t meant to be offensive. We all interpret our experiences according to our memories and programming. We can even subconsciously like and dislike people based on who they remind us of – even when we know nothing about them. Questioning our beliefs and opinions when they reflect negative judgments about others helps us improve how we interact and connect with them and the world in general. As Abraham Lincoln once said, “I don’t like that man, I must…
Get to know him better.”
