Now i have noticed there are many people who get really upset about labels. I can see their points where so many people try to put themselves in a certain class, or people judge people to soon and label them. But then i also see that a label can be handy when you try to describe someone. What are your views on labels? Are they good or bad, or both?
I might end up buying Odoul's without them. Then it'd be suicide again for me. ...Just kidding everybody.
I have no problem with labels. I don't know why people make such a big deal about them. No matter who we are, we are all looking for likeminded people - a place to belong. "Labels" facilitate that.
I think labels are just a tool we use to decribe people.. its when they are used to descriminate that they become destructive..peace out!
i dont think its the labels themselves that people dont like, its the stereotypes that come with them. for instance people call me a hippie. they also think i never shower, because everyone knows all hippies never shower. well, i probably shower more than the people with these assumptions. at least once a day, and sometimes twice if i get myself really dirty after ive already showered once.
oh, another thing, i don't like using labels while referring to myself, because then i feel like i have to live up to some standard, rather than just being myself. which in turn would apply a different label: poser.
Wildspirit captured it. I'd rather remain label-less, though. I think labels have the potential to dis-integrate.
