Labels....
Aug. 5th, 2006 01:19 pmI've Known a certain Character most of my Life, best Known for their Credo,"I don't Believe in Labels". The Funny thing is that things only go smoothly when there is no Disagreement with them. It seems, to them, that there is no "need" for Labels since what they Believe is the RIght Way for Everyone. Whether they be CHristian, WIccan, Pagan, Heathen, Republican, Progressive, etc. There is Their Way and the False Way(s).
Now, I'm Lazy. I Prefer Labels so that I don't waste time and energy. I also like to Know where I Stand with others. If I Know that someone is _______, I'm not going to bother with certain subjects that will Create no Positive endproduct. Now, I Know a lot of folks will bring up the "Learning" aspect of Interacting and that is True...to a certain point. There is no point to discuss certain subjects/topics within each Viewpoint. The ONLY "TRU" reason is if you WIsh to CHange that person to your Way of Thinking. I don't actually have a problem with this IF YOU ARE HONEST ABOUT YOUR MOTIVES...
