Assumptions and Prejudice

by Hero Jenkins

Nothing in life is black and white; 
we just prefer to think of it that way. 

Nothing is what it seems at first glance; 
still we make assumptions based on prejudices and limited understanding. 

But assumptions are just shortcuts for the lazy, prejudice a crutch for the fool. 
And believing in a black and white world is what makes life bearable for the timid.

--- Excerpt from the never to be published memoirs of William Compton.

This quote is from my upcoming book "A Storm in Memphis".

I created this quote in the character Will Compton's voice because it fit with what he was going through at the time. That is one of the unique things about writing, sometimes you can loose yourself and slip into the character and view their world through their eyes.

Tell me what you think.
