Explains that listening to others can begin to break down prejudices.

 



I think people need to listen generally… it is the easiest thing in the world to say and is the hardest thing to do. But I really do feel that breaks down the barriers, breaks down the prejudice, breaks down the discrimination and also starts to make people aware. I think that the general population, that is those uninfected as well, need to learn to listen, and stop judging people… because we judge… we are all judgmental people, we all have prejudices. I have discussed this at great length before but we have got to stop, I am just as judgmental as anybody else. I try to justify the reasons why.
