Immerse yourself in your problems, you become a problem. Represent others in your prejudice and become your own stereotype.
What does this mean? You can figure that out on your own. I'm not one for doing thinking for others anymore. Believe me, brainpower is best used elsewhere. But I am on a train of thought now. Hopefully it goes somewhere this time.
You watch countless movies, play countless games, read countless books... Or whatever the modern equivalent may be (clips, vids, posts, etc.). You begin to resemble the figures that represent themselves in your favored media. But what about the people we don't like?
My closest friends in high-school were the invisible outcasts. Not so much the deplorable. Just dorky weirdos that theorized interesting, rather than became it. Naturally, everyone that inhabited reality wasn't interesting. Some of us chose to escape in D&D, others got good jobs and started families and there were those of us who tried with consequences. In the end, we were the people we looked down on. And plenty of us became what we always feared. And those who we decided to hate, let's just say we became less interesting than them.
Moral of the story, your ego will always put you in a superior position. And yet it will keep you where you most deserve. It is so illusive that to even pursue self awareness, is a game in itself. And you will fail. It doesn't matter how you see yourself or how you see others. In the end, all you really can decide is what matters to you and fate will decide how to make it interesting.
I don't have any advice. Just the wisdom of perspective. If you see this, it is likely jargon. But if you comprehend this, then you know that no amount of knowing can make you certain of anything. You can only guess when you are going the wrong way.
For once I feel blessed.
