This is based on a memory from many years ago, when I was very young, and I encountered for the first time that there existed people in the world who held beliefs that were directly opposed to my existence. For a time afterward, my naive mind really wrestled with not being able to accept that people I’ve never met could hate another without ever meeting them – that they could judge someone based merely on characteristics they couldn’t control, instead of who they are as a person. There’s a part of me that still has trouble reconciling that discrepancy – but the above summarizes the general sentiment I arrived to upon reflection over time.
