There are some things I have strong feelings about.
If you witnessed how something is paralyzing the souls of billions of people (and no, I am not exaggerating), wouldn't you care? 

Would it then not drive you crazy to see someone you care for drunk on the same substance that is affecting billions?   Wouldn't you want them to rise above that, and soar, instead of being paralyzed?

Ignorance  →  Prejudice  →  Fear  →  Hate  →  Violence 

Before I proceed, I wish to clarify that by ignorance, I mean the lack of knowledge, as well as the lack of diversity of experience.
By violence, I am referring to the caveman's answer to problem solving. 

Prejudice

The obvious injustice.
 
Any time you put a large group of people into one pot, and give them all the same characteristic or trait, you are treating a whole lot of people unjustly! Any time you speak out with prejudice in your heart, you ARE prejudice, you become hate. 

In most cases, prejudice is something people pick up along the way, and keep it, much like one keeps a bad habit, often without being fully aware of it. 

One individual of a group, any group, does not reflect that entire group. The truth or the importance of this statement grows proportionally to the size of that group. The larger the group, the smaller the importance of any one individual as the group's representative!

Blatant Prejudice 

That's the extreme sort. It's when you have a fix opinion regarding a group so large that it contains millions of people. You would think that nobody would be that foolish, to try to put millions of people into one pot, wouldn't you? It seems so obviously ludicrous. 

Prejudice is the cancer of society.

I still can't truly wrap my head around the fact that this is still something that isn't obvious, to everyone. Then again, like a great thinker once said to me, all the problems society has ever had, still exist today. I wanted to object, but I thought about the statement for a few seconds, and damn... he was right.
 

Now let's take this a step further...

In my opening I wrote:
If you witnessed how something is paralyzing the souls of billions of people, wouldn't you care? 

A bit later, speaking of blatant prejudice, I sort of defined it as the following:
It's when you have a fix opinion regarding a group so large that it contains millions of people. 

 Judging by the above, one could call my opening question a blatant prejudice. 

Allow me to excuse myself

At least it was a question, and not an affirmation. Furthermore, one could also argue that I could be forgiven for this prejudice, as it is my aim to help inspire the removal of ignorance-based fear (always remember, that's what fear is mostly about!).
 

All of this reminds me of Nietsche's statement: “Every word is a prejudice.”
Besides, there is no spoon. 

We don't have to reside within the very narrow limitations set up by society.
(See my first drawing above.)

They are a prison for the mind, a dreadful loop!
