I am filling out an application for a scholarship that will enable me to attain my bachelor's degree. One of the questions is, When Does A Belief Become A Prejudice? Here is my anwer.
A belief becomes a predudice when you use it to judge the person and not the product; when the first glance becomes the last chance to make an impression.
A belief becomes a prejudice when you hold it up to everyone else except yourself; when you become the exception to the rule.
A belief becomes a prejudice when it closes your mind and prevents you from hearing what the other side has to say; when it becomes your prison and you believe you are free.
A belief becomes a prejudice when you use it to judge, but refuse to let it be judged; when you only know what you believe and not why you believe it.
A belief becomes a prejudice when it becomes your measure in all things; when its logic only works in your hands.
A belief becomes a prejudice when it defines who you are; when the question of its validity becomes a question of your validity as a person.
