Bias can transform
An ordinary opinion
To one that favors in the defense of another.
Bias can change
How groups of people may feel
If it is directed towards or against them.
Bias is a weapon
Can be used with care
Can deal blows to identity
Can harm, hurt or share.
Posted in response to the challenge Bias.
Do you know how many minutes I save for you
So we can be together?
Do you know how it feels
When you throw them out
For other things?
Do you know how it feels
To never feel like you're good enough
I chase this dream
With everything I have.
I want to be with it
Every step of the way.
From the moment I first touched it
To where my fingertips grazed actual possibility
To where my heart broke
I want to live
Inside your head.
I want to be where
They can't hurt me.
I want to live where you are
I want to stay in the sunlight
I want to dance among the stars.
I want to live in your fantasy

You're absolutely right! Do you have ways of overcoming internal biases, if you ever notice them arising in yourself and affecting your opinions or actions?
Yes - sometimes I'll slow down and think of the situation at a neutral status, and rethink my actions from that point forward.
