I agree with San ji on "Another factor fueling this dark practice is the human character of wanting to find a deeper meaning of life and consequently needing to feel important. One way of feeling important is by proactive positive actions which makes one feel better. Another way is to feel important is by classifying other people belonging to different caste/race/creed as less important than ones own group, thus automatically being more important than others."

But I totally disagree on- "Lot of times we are quick in making judgement of others due to our prejudices which are unfortunately beyond our control ." Prejudices are not beyond our control. In fact, prejudice can not only be controlled but also be directed to the way we want ... i.e. IFF the person really wants to do so.

And as usual, I cannot help but thank San for such a marvelous job of putting sajha together. Way to go!
