Labels

I realized that people like to label things and people. People feel some need to give things a label and give them some value. Think about it; everything in a store has a label. The label gives the product a price and its value. People think everything has to have some sort of worth, so they sort things by their value. People judge cars by how the look and by what they're worth. More expensive cars are more highly looking upon than cheap cars. This would not be such an issue if people didn't do the same thing to people. People have to label others for whatever reason. Everyone does it; some more than others. People always label others by what they do or what they think or what they believe. Some people place labels on people verbally. I don't think that is right. If you have an opinion of someone that is negative, you should just keep it to yourself. Why do you think that person wants to know what you think of them? Are you trying to hurt them? There is no reason to label people. We think we have to rate people by what they are worth. We always are judging people by what we think of them. Realize that I did not say we label them by what they are, but what we think they are. Sometimes you should keep your opinions to yourself. I'm guilty of labeling people, and I regret what I've done. I realized that I should keep some things to myself and not stick labels on to other people. When people put labels on each other, it negatively affects the other person. People will try to put labels on you, try to tell you who you are, and depending on how you take it you can be hurt. Don't let people label you and tell you who you are. Why do you care what they think? If people say you aren't smart, don't listen. If you know you are smart, don't listen to them. Block it out. You don't need that in your life. If you let people stick labels on you all the time, you won't know who you really are. You will be confused and disoriented by what others tell you, and then you forget who you are. And that obviously is not good. You can't let people tell you who you are and what your worth. They have no right or any reason to do that, and their opinion of you does not matter. You need to decide for yourself who you are and what you want to do with your life. Don't let others do that for you. Which leaves the question- who are you?
