Prejudice vs. Condemnation

        Have you been in a situation wherein you were treated least fair or least well than the others? Like the Chinese nationals who live in our country, they treated the Filipinos as slaves though we all know that they owned almost ¼ or ½ of the country’s riches and Filipinos were the ones who serve them but they are not in China they are in the Philippines so they should respect our country and treat the Filipinos well. I remember one time when we were in Hong Kong when we’re at the elevator there was this Chinese who fell a piece of paper my aunt just let her pick up that paper and said that even though their economy is way better than us they should have been treating people fairly.
           Another example was between the White Americans and the Black Americans, though the Blacks are really different from the Whites they should learn how to respect them and treat them as humans. 
         Sometimes out of nowhere us teenagers judge the people that we met and when we found something extremely different we discriminates them and worst we refrain ourselves from them and do not make friends with those people which is not right and unrighteous. A lot of people gone through, or were the one who discriminates.. If you were the one who discriminates have you thought of how it is difficult to be discriminated? Or have you thought if how much hurt it can bear? I gave common situations or examples of discrimination in my first part, because as far as I remember I never experienced being discriminated and I thank God for that. Maybe I was, but I ignored it or I was focused on doing things in the manner that I want to, being me and being true to everyone. With this I have learned that God created us having our own differences or uniqueness, we must not judge those people who are different from you, me or anyone else because God created that person in His own image so if you discriminate that person then it means that it is God whom you discriminate. 





       We should always bear in mind that discriminating is also a sin so if we do so then we will be punished or sentenced according on what we did. So let us always have in mind that in everything we should do it for the Lord for us not to be condemned and for the people around us love us for what we are, because discriminations are very common to everyone. We should be aware and pray for those who discriminates us. :)
