BIAS

“Bias”

It is the slightest difference you notice and feel about one who is otherwise equal to another.

It is the subconscious working during every conscious action.

It lingers under the surface in every major decision.

We try to overcome it by just being aware of its existence but to no avail.

We think we have beaten it when we make a decision only to find it reared its ugly head after all.

We hire someone setting it aside, but we find we treat them differently and just can’t help how we think or feel about them.

Yes, it knows it has its hold on us and keeps us underneath its fist.

To truly break free from its hold, one must build a relationship with it.
