Isn't it funny... how we all flare up when we feel people apply labels to us. Yet we do the same with obstinate masochism. We view ourselves in labels and strive hard to behave accordingly and get all messed up in the head when we don't. We are honest, therefore feel horrible when we lie. We are straight, so heaven forbid we might feel attracted to someone of the same gender. We know good music, so the latest Gaga song is just a guilty pleasure 'cause it's so damn catchy. We're into artsy fartsy movies so that last stint to see Thor was just for laughs. We're libertarians, so we agree with that conservative point of view only because they sold it so well to manipulate us. We are free thinkers, so blame that last prayer on a socially conditioned response in high stress situations.
The only label that covers us all is human. We love and long for the things that make us happy, whether it's other people, our chosen forms of entertainment or opinions that match our own. We just strive to vibrate on the same wavelength and make it all so complicated by formulating rules and labels where there are none...
