Prejudice!

Do you ever realize we want people to assess us based on our content, I mean the final delivery but when it is our turn, we wish to measure others by their intent? Sometimes we all wish we can be god, to know what others have in their mind, how they are dealing with us and if the relationship is going to be beneficial in anyway or is it going to be a liability on our part?

I do agree with you that we need to be careful but definitely being too skeptical and agnostic isn't going to be helpful for either party in the long run nor will it enrich the relationship, but for sure if not sooner in the longer run will have a detrimental effect on any relationship. Steven Futrick in his book Unqualified remarks "We constantly analyze and summarize each other. We compare people to our standards— spoken or unspoken—to see how they measure up. Then we accept them or reject them; we praise them or criticize them; we revere them or ridicule them. We all secretly administer exams in the university of our own opinions.".

The Bible warns when Jesus remarked, "“Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others, and you will be measured by the same measure you use.". Do you notice, many imperfections that we easily tolerate in ourselves are quite intolerable in others? But we are constantly judging others based on our assumptions and calculations. We manipulate and scheme because we think trickery is the only way to get what we want. 

Stop being prejudiced based on color, caste, creed, faith, status and start investing on trust, belief and truthfulness. And you can do this only with the help of a God who invested in you and willing to accept you and transform you forever.  Jesus did not discriminate anyone who followed him but promised abundant life and eternity  to all irrespective of any classes people have created for their own benefit and status.
