It is very hard sometimes not to jump to conclusions when we watch the news and read the statistics. I am annoyed that summary judgments are made, they are often unfair, but people often must make quick and snap judgments that are unfair to protect themselves. I have grown tired of the glassed over look that many young people have for old people. I think it unfair to be dismissed and judged as part of a group, but many my age are loosing some of their abilities to perceive.

Some prejudices do have some basis in truth whether we like it or not. We have to keep a generous spirit, a kind heart and common sense. It seems that morality is slipping everywhere.
