17. I get judged all the time or pre judged

I think society is getting worse at distinquishing real people from video steriotypes and we need a jolt eveyone once in a while to realize we all are people .
The ignorance of predudice is based on tribal fearlike who is over that hill in the next valley .Even when we know whats over the hill our fear makes us think that the unfamiliar is evil .

End of rant.
