Quote by Voltaire

Prejudice is an opinion without judgment

Prejudice is an opinion without judgment

Summary

The quote suggests that prejudice is formed without the application of logical judgment. It implies that prejudice stems from preconceived notions or biases, rather than from a fair and objective assessment of people or situations. In other words, it suggests that prejudiced opinions are often based on assumptions or stereotypes rather than on thoughtful evaluation or consideration of facts. The quote reminds us that being prejudiced inhibits our ability to make fair and rational judgments, as we are influenced by our preexisting beliefs rather than by a fair analysis of the given circumstances.

But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away 'blindly' so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.
