If you are very tall, don't you feel that everybody else is short? But, on the other hand, if you are not so, you might feel that most people are almost giants. Similarly, an overweight person is overly sensitive and touchy about any conversation that revolves around weight. What you see in others, what you like or dislike in them doesn't therefore depend on what that person (or thing) actually is. It is rather connected to the way "you" yourself are and to the way you consequently judge the reality you come in contact with. If you wear colored glasses, you will see the world according to the color of the lenses. If you are wise, whenever you wear the lenses of prejudice, you'd better discard them because - although you might believe you are being fair and impartial - it is always a "pre-judice", generated by what you have accepted to believe as true. If you remove them, you will see how the world really is.
