Society Wants To Label People

Society wants to stick me into a chair and label me.
I think it is hilarious.
I have an identical twin.
If they gave us each ten labels, we would not end up with
a single one that is the same.
We have the same face, laugh, voice, and mannerisms.
Society would not understand.
For they are not us.
They cannot get into our mind.
They want to tear our hearts out by labelling us.
We are the same in this only.
We both laugh at her.

Anil Deo January 6, 2022 at 11:46 PM Beautifully true. Fortunately U are a twin, who can talk expertly about God's diversity with Unity. Shalom shalom / wholeness without bad labels Caren Krutsinger January 7, 2022 at 9:55 AM I have first hand knowledge that twins are not identical even if they are labelled identical.
