WE ARE ACTUALLY ALL IN IT TOGETHER

When we treat other people as if they are statistics then we are separating ourselves from those people. This is because when we choose to not see other people as individuals we don't really see them at all, like when we stereotype others by treating them as if they are like everyone else in a large group of people. This contributes to an "us against them" way of relating to others that keeps us separated from others. Also, treating each other this way makes it easy for dictators to exert control over us by pitting us against each other. 

When we judge others we are hurting ourselves. Just like when we stereotype people we are not learning who they really are. People can act like other people and yet each person is actually unique and you won't get to know them if you lump them with a group of people. This is also true medically as it can be important to know what any person's actual symptoms are and not only rely on laboratory tests that may give statistical averages that do not tell you where any individual's range might be.
