Prejudice

How prejudiced are we all really? Very very prejudiced I'd say. Do we ever try to understand people who are different from us? Given a choice, yes, it's definitely easier to be with people you know. I mean, why take the extra effort to get to know new people, when you can easily settle for people you already know and are comfortable with.

But, in following such a path, what all wonderful new experiences are we missing? Who knows, maybe the person who almost became your room mate might have changed your life in ways you never know. For better or for worse, you never know. But, then isn't that part of the fun. The thrill of the unknwon. Now that was my idealistic side talking, but realistically, would I do it?
