Stereotypes

I find a statement made by someone to be ultra-interesting. We were having a conversation on earning a living and suddenly a statement like this was made…

“Those small business owners like hawkers or real estate agents are even richer than us. How is that possible?”. Though it’s not the exact words but the meaning is there. I find this person to be so ignorant that I immediately asked, “What makes you think that we’re even rich?”. The person kept quiet.

We often have all kind of stereotypes for people in our mind. We may not know it but it shows in our speech and actions, so may His Word transform our minds to see all people as equal, though it may be tough.
