As long as hate, intolerance, miseducation, religious indoctrination, bigotry and all the other negative qualities in humankind exist, wewon't see the end of discrimination. From what I have observed, discrimination mostly occurs when one person/group refuses to see the point of view of the other person/group, and refuses to see that allhumans are equal by birthright. This feeling of superiority lends itself quite easily to the act of discrimination, thinking "I'm better than you" and "you don't deserve what I have". It's sad buttrue, people who think this way will continue to exist as long as humans are alive.

This attention directed at others allows you to fill your day without ever thinkingwith the same intensity about your own life. It is easier to fix the world than to look at yourself. If you were of the mindset to truly examine your own life, you would not have the time, energy orinterest in judging what other people do, and the world would be a better place to live in. Also, people so often hate what the truly hate in themselves. That has proven itself time and time again.
