Have you ever thought 'what if I had been born in a different place and into a different family'? What would life have been like growing up in another country? Would I be a different person altogether? Would I still have the same views and opinions? If you haven't asked yourself theses questions, maybe it is something you should try.
What these questions usually make people realise is that we are actually born into a culture, we inherit religion and are influenced by the people that surround us. The thing is, if your parents (or even further back) had decided to move to a different country or changed their belief system you probably would be living a completely different life.
What we need to realise is that we just happened to be born into the life that we have and that we could have very easily been walking in someone else's shoes if it were not for the choices made by our parents and ancestors. These are things you should consider before you judge others, as that could have been the life you were born into.
