Why do we label?ย ๐ค
It’s important to first acknowledge we need labeling. It helps us put a face to the things we don’t understand. It helps us make sense of our physical reality. It saves our brains a ton of time and energy to generalize people and things.ย ๐
If we didn’t label anything, we’d be downright exhausted trying to make sense of every single thing we perceive!ย ๐

How? To the person we become quick to demonize. To the person we become quick to put down to lift ourselves up. To the person we’ve never met yet encapsulate their entire existence on a single label.ย ๐ค
Constantly generalizing doesn’t help us better understand our world. Constantly labeling doesn’t help us look outside the box of a label’s definition.ย ๐

It’s easier to generalize than to understand. But let’s not forget how rewarding seeking to understand isย ๐ย :
๐ย To discover there’s an entire world outside our understanding we have yet to explore!
๐ย The fulfillment in taking the chance to connect with someone you never thought you’d appreciate!
๐ย The pleasure in knowing you didn’t let your Generalization Instinct control how you lived your life!
