RE: Mental Filters; Analyzing an Error of the Mind...
Hello @chbartist! You never fail to enlighten me with your post! I think that mental distortion might be the reason why racial prejudice or discrimination happens in our world today. Like, if a person is Yemeni or a Muslim, the first thing that some people would think is, it must be a terrorist! Or, when someone is a Christian in the Middle East- especially Americans- some would think- they are here to spy on us and see how much oil , gold and other resources we have!
I understand what you mean, there may even be people who are there for that. But I know that most people in the world are good, people are who tend to look on the negative side rather than see the qualities of people. In my case I can say that I have been in many places in the world, I have always been respected because I know how to respect and I have never made a distinction between people regardless of their country or culture. Respect above all!
