Get to know Me!

I consider myself an open-minded person , but my deal breakers are arrogance, prejudice, and pride. These three things can tell a lot about a person. The majority of the time these aspects of a person's character get in the way of proper communication, group goals, and can influence every angle of society today.
Arrogance has been around since the beginning of time, man's way of trying to raise himself up. This causes nothing but trouble, frustration and could ruin relationships. No one is more important than anyone else. Well, you may be in the eyes of your parents but in the real world everyone has the same opportunity to succeed. It is the choices that we are making right now that will either open or close many of these great "doors of opportunity". And having the right attitude or mind set can make all the difference.
Everyone is raised differently and comes from different backgrounds. Usually people in the same area that experience similar things have like understandings. But being from the south things are put in a different light. Although the newer generations are becoming more accepting of diversity and individuality, our values are losing their significance. Attitudes and opinions are modifying into a more accepting and understanding comfort. But there are still people who disreguard other's thoughts, feelings, and situations. There are music albums, television shows, and cold hard history to show that as much as we try to eradicate this attitude, we will never be fully free.
Pride; something that is shown everyday on tv, can be seen in every newspaper, and heard all across the world on radios. This is the main reason we are at war today and why man can't ever stop fighting. I wish that pride, prejudice, and arrogance would be modifed by 75% then we would have less "super egos" and more understanding. Whenever we meet, as long as you dont throw one of these three things in my face, I believe we could work great!

I hate people that are prejudiced as well, and I don't just mean when it comes to skin color or background but sexual preferences or religious beliefs or even simply physical appearance.
