I think that you are right Dan, that the problem is that people change, and we don't allow our labels to change with them. You are right Sara, that more than labels, it's the fact that we are all multi-layered- but that is hard to accept. Thanks for the good thoughts!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161598687324879363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-58180671848934174542009-05-06T14:39:00.000-06:002009-05-06T14:39:00.000-06:00you are so right on! It would be great to put peop...you are so right on! It would be great to put people into little defined boxes, that way anyone that was in the box you don't like you wouldn't have to deal with. The problem that I have found is that people change boxes from time to time as do I. My challenge is to allow them to do that and not remember what i thought they were and I never allow them to change yet I expect everyone to believe me when I believed I have changed. I guess it all comes down to tallerance, patience, and forgivenece. All of which I am short on. Keep up the good work. We had a great time in Mexico, Love you.dan shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733192092565988257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534398293882227646.post-60368953947666901122009-05-06T13:31:00.000-06:002009-05-06T13:31:00.000-06:00I loved this post. I think about this often too. ...I loved this post. I think about this often too. But I may differ from you in that I believe we need labels keep our life from becoming chaotic. But the trick with Labels is REMEMBERING....even though you are catogorizing something or someone, doesn't mean there are not layers, or colors like you said. <br /> <br />I think Hitler was an evil person (my label)due to some of his actions, but he can be a socially persuasive and mentally ill at the same time and policically adept. many layers. Mother Theresa was a wonderful person (my Label), who loved to serve others, and had some problems in her life all at the same time. Me, I think I'm a good person (my label), but I'm not all the time. I think I'm a friendly person (my label) but not all the time. Sometimes I catch glimpse of myself in a reflective surface at the grocery store....the person looking back at me looks grumpy...not friendly at all. WHAT??!!! But I know I'm a friendly person. <br /><br />I feel that quite often people (including me!) forget the Color to humanity and the layers that can all be present at the same time, and hold on to the "label" they have assigned, and never stop to think that history is not always acurate, people can/do change, and our "glasses" also change prescription....meaning we change how we view things through out our life. <br />Duality/Layers.
