Judgemental thoughts, start at the core of our hearts.

I've been thinking a lot about why it is that people are so judgemental of another particular group or even someone else for that matter.

What is the core of someones heart that when one comes across a few "Osama bin Laden's" that makes one begin to judge all of Islam? Or the core to that of a non-believer who judges all of christianity off of a few trashy believers?

Since i can't look at the core of every human being i looked at the core to my own heart and i found this answer. The times I am the most judgemental of others are the times when I view myself as the higher standard.

If this stayment of pride is true for me could it be true of others?
