We the People Are All Just People

What people get to decide and validate other people by categorizing them? Is it the “good people,” the “rich people,” the “smart people…?” I’m really just trying to understand something. Who decides and what makes them relevant when we the people are all “Just People?” Where did this come from and why is it still allowed in this day, age and time? We are singled out, casted out, separated, isolated, placed above, placed beneath, considered better than, considered less than, worthy, unworthy… all because of the labels that enables. Yes, the labels that are placed before the people to identify the people. There are limitations and separations, allegations and discrimination, and for what, when we the people are all “Just People.” We have been placed into this place by others who are also in the same place as us, meaning, they too are all “Just People.” People, people, people - What kind of people you say? Rich people, poor people, black people, white people, weird people, crazy people, happy people, sad people, mean, dumb and stupid people, ugly people, beautiful people, dirty people, clean, smart and gifted people, fat people, skinny people, strong people, weak people, crooked, bad and evil people, light skin people, dark skin people, lonely people, goofy, silly, fun people, homeless people, upper class people, lower class people, sick, lazy and tired people, less fortunate people, working class people, dependent people, independent people, handicap people, ordinary people... STOP - JUST STOP!!! We the people are all “Just People” - people trying to make it, people growing, people loving, people enjoying life, people working hard, people learning, people praying… We the people are all Just People of God and none of what this world labels us will matter when it’s time to get into Heaven. We the people are all “Just People” who wanna be respected, treated equal, be loved, give love, live happily and live in peace, without a title, without a label, without being judged, without being criticized, harassed or mistreated.
