I want to stop looking at other people as either superior or inferior. What makes this hard is that it's much easier for me to categorize people linearly. This is because I myself have a very narrow mind. When I try to open myself to people, there's still a part of me that, based on whatever criteria, places them either above or below me. My interactions or lack thereof with them are influenced subtly by this. I think it's so hard to break out of this pattern because my mind is lazy, and is used to just placing people into stereotypes so that I don't have to think too much.
Also, I'm afraid that, at least in part, my interest in learning of Taoism is fueled by some desire to gain some sort of superiority over others.
