Hi, Katie. I liked your story about being 'judgy.' I have always thought we are born with instincts and senses, and everything we learn afterward is designed to integrate us into society. Morality must be learned, as well as hygene and social graces. What we think of ourselves is the inward turmoil that we all carry. I beleive it stems from the significant basic instinct of survival, where everything is considered a threat, and the unknown is a danger. It is the engine of distrust, being judgmental, and small mindedness. Fear of the other is the root cause of racim, religious intolerance, and domination over others. Yours, was a good piece of writing. Thanks,. Regards
