If people cant think clearly about anything
That has become part of their identity
Then all other things being equal
The best plan is to let as few things into
Your identity as possible
There is a step beyond thinking yourself as ‘X’ , but tolerating ‘Y’
Not even to consider yourself as ‘X’
The more labels you have for yourself
The dumber they make you!
Jiddu Krishnamurti says :
‘Avoid Labels’
Because Labels become an means towards an end
And eventually, the ends are forgotten!
