Labelling People

Angel? Demon? Faerie? Witch? Random labels None apply. We are all changelings Pure and simple Or complicated and unpure Depending upon the mood, the moment, and our momentous events. Divorce, death, cancer, car wrecks, they all take a toll on us. Changing us completely in one second. Giving us a perspective we never had before. Showing us that our opinions are not the same now. Sometimes switching to the opposite side in one second. When we become the needy, we stop bad-mouthing the freeloaders. When we realize how close we are to homeless, we maybe develop a little more empathy for them. There are life-changing events happening every day. We may go into some of them kicking and screaming, But we still Go into them Changelings that we are. Angel? Demon? Faerie? Crone? We’d best leave labels well and good alone.

We all label, is human nature, the difference is some are willing to consonantly chage the view based on learning more, and so..... we all should seek to learn more! Loved this!

It is so sad that I have to make myself UNLABEL after I label, so I know you are telling me the truth.

Wise words my friend; we humans are exactly like that and we must all strive to do better.

We really must, but some days I am simply in a not-very-striving-to-be-so-nice-at-all mood.
