Labels & tags work for posts!
Tells me what I am about to read before I click.
Not For People.
Society has slowly become one of sorting people instead of getting to know them. I have been messing with people's minds on this topic for decades and, though I love doing it, labels must stop.
In any conversation, people will usually tell you what labels they are, which is strange. Why would humans do that to themselves? I'm a conservative, liberal, truther, right-winger, left-winger, democrat, or republican. Most are opposing opinions which have been imposed on us in some cases, made up by someone in other cases. We are in one "school of thought" or another. Think about that. Is this a natural behavior or a teaching? I do not like having been schooled on what to think!
The truth is that you cannot be a label. Not physically anyway unless you donate your organs to a paper mill. Some of you just sorted me into a box that says 'truther'. Prove to me that you are sticky on one side, made of paper, not a person, and I will take it all back.
In a conversation with me, labels seem to confuse me as they come up. "What do you mean by that?" I ask as I hear each label. I refuse to assume that this person is identical to the last few people who used the same label about themselves. If you must sort me, please use a sentence.
He is someone who treats a person as an individual based on their wide range of strongly held opinions on a diverse range of issues that impact their own life as well as our complex world.
If your ability to form sentences is limited, call me an "individualist" or a "non-labeler".
When speaking, I will gladly tell people about myself and how I feel. If I hear labels bounding off of me as they listen, I quickly interject and oppose the category they are assigning to me. I accept immutable attributes, but there usually is no call for those to come up in a conversation.
Labels have been exacerbated by governments and groups of people which create them. Sadly, this is done in order to categorize humans into one group or the other opposing group so that they rage against one another. When a society intensifies this practice, it usually leads to racism, and in some cases, genocide against one kind of person or another kind of person, though the word "person" is never used. Just one slur after another.
This blog is not about insults. I am talking about filing people according established opinion titles, or labels. There are no so many of them, I have lost track of what some mean. Choosing to ignore all those labels, treating people as individuals, may have been part to blame. My ignorance has caused me to unintentionally care for, comment on, vote for, donate to, or otherwise love both whites and blacks, Russians and Mexicans, republicans and democrats, Palestinians and Jews, conservatives and liberals, flat-earthers, round-earthers, triangle-earthers, hollow-earthers, and other venomous enemy counterparts all over the world.
Result: Common ground here and there.
Ignorance is Bliss
I am @done with all such labels
Could more of us be so ignorant?
Etiquetas
Suena como un arma de dos filos.
El sistemas nos enseña y nos da ejemplo de como hacerlo, creo que somos buenos aprendices y ejemplo para ser una especie de etiquetados es.
¿Hay un precio para dejar de serlo?
Creo que si y estoy dispuesto a pagarlo.
Creo que toda la vida no nos alcanzaría para pagarlo. Pero si individualmente nos desetiquetamos no sólo podemos ver cosas nuevas, podemos contagiar a otros. ESO SÍ ME GUSTA.
EXCELENTE POST.
Usted no publica mucho pero cuando lo hace es certero con el tema, el sistema lo que busca es mantener a algunos pocos en un lugar de prestigio y el precio es que el resto sea denigrado. Esa es la razón del etiquetado un sistema creado por los poderosos para mantenerse en el poder. Su mensaje es un golpe duro a los pensamientos racistas discriminantes! 👏👏👏
The rich and powerful who chose to keep others in desperation will one day be in desperation. Together, we are stronger than they are
Discrimination is good. If you go to buy fish and it smells bad, look for one that appears to be fresh and has no rotten smell. The rotten fish will not feel bad about your discrimination, it is already dead.
Racism is good. If I see a tiger lunging to attack a man, woman or child, I will discriminate against the Tiger, right between the eyes. I am all for the human race.
Of course, we the oppressed are the majority. With regard to the approaches that you have made it is good to highlight that a rotten fish is an individual signaling, the same happens in the case of the tiger, both are judged by their current state individually, if after killing the first tiger you end up with the others by the actions of the first that would be wrong. I believe the same principle should apply to any living being, we should all pay for our own actions no matter where we come from or who our parents are, but not be judged by our race. Whether you see a man killing tiger cubs, or adult tigers to sell their furs, or men killing elephants to take their tusks to what race they would help? it's not a matter of race but of acts. At least that's how I see things!
A simple and very deep true, @done... Only a race: human race ♥
@done good words you are a good writer not all people know how to express themselves in that way I congratulate you
@done, Evidentemente el Mundo te presenta varias opciones de pensar, las etiquetas discriminan la accion de vida del ser humano, pero tambien te permite ver la objetividad y sujetividad de cada quien, lo que a mi juicio es mas importante que se nos respete las ideas ya que desde esta plataforma el mundo entraria en una fase de civilizacion. Me agrado leerte Dios te Bendiga
Hi @done I find it very interesting that you write on this subject "labels", the stiquets only serve to place people in categories, without assessing what is really important, their being, their potential, their ideas, nor do I agree with being taught to think about one way or another, we are not really free, we are conditioned under governments, religions, policies that tell us how we should be and what we should think, it seems absurd. Good topic of conversation friend, greetings.
I think that the labels will never cease to exist.
It is in people to believe in them accept them or put them aside.
It is always important to be clear that one is what the most important person for me says what I am. And ignore other people.
I like your free thought. We should all have that ability to reason and do what we want. I think that the blockchain system could be oriented further and generate less differences between us as humans. In this way we could have a better world.
Blockchain is nothing without the decentralized database, but all in all, I agree with you.
She is very right, we need more thoughts like yours but also much more action to do the correct.
Now it is true that Blockchain is nothing without the database. But the database is nothing without the people who make it.
Since we entered the school the system is starting to catalog and label us, you are the nerd, you are gross, etc, then when we grow up they put us in more general groups you just commented, they classify us by skin color, by religion, by politics, this is a post that makes us think
regards
You have interesting points of view. It is very good to run into people (in this case publications) full of topics that nobody dares to touch.
I have seen how, on occasions, these types of opinions are very attacked by different points of view. Personally, I think these are the issues that make us value a better reflection of society, since finally, we realize that there are people who care about what is wrong, and should be reflected. As you have done.
Labels, something that should not exist, for people. People are what they are, according to their personality, they are not a generalizable object because they belong to an ethnic group, religion, or different ideals.
Postings that are very touching the day of how life is today are many conflicts between the government and radical groups that are trying to fight the government in their respective countries
I thought that we must first read the book before judging or in this case "tag it", many times we close ourselves to meet people because we cling to beliefs that do not allow us to see beyond, I think we all have something to contribute; besides, many times those "labels" damage the reputation of many, for example; I am Venezuelan and as there are good Venezuelans there are bad, just like all people and in all nationalities, due to the great emigration it has been seen that many bad Venezuelans have gone to countries in Latin America and the world fleeing the crisis, these have been found stealing and doing bad things, but the point is that not all Venezuelans are like that, many of us are honest, hardworking and we only want to improve our quality of life, I think the world should not label everything because it often damages the reputation of others who have nothing to do with it.
Soy docente de a nivel de media general, que en mi país corresponde a los muchachos entre 13 a 16-17 años máximo. En ese ambiente he visto como estas etiquetas marcan significativamente a estos muchachos, etiquetaas tales como: mala conducta, los nerds, los flojos etc y los mismos coordinadores teniendo organizad así distribuyen las secciones. Pienso que no dejaran de existir pero nosotros si podemos aprender a usarlas constructivamente resaltando aspectos positivos o recalcando lo que queremos lograr en ellos. Buen post.
There were groups in my high school days too. Some are related to activities like sports, others based on looks or race which are only used for cruelty and bullying. If you are a leader, encourage individual nick-names (apodos?) for each person but ask if they would feel bad having (x) for a nick-name.
I have seen this work as a way to keep kids individual without creating groups that become gangs, and even make war against each other. Where did I see it? In a very rough public school. Someone I mentor attends there and is a respected leader. The choice of his peers.
Although I liked its publication very much @done, I think the most important part is to reason and be totally empathic with the situation in which the most identified people live, such as racism or classism, which makes them feel so repressed or persecuted and before the occurrence of so many suicides. For example, today so much controversy with "bullying".
On-line bullying would not exist if it were not for derogatory labels. Avoiding those labels was my intention because bullying was not the subject, however important. Racism was not the subject either. I believe each should be addressed and discussed one at a time because the mentality of each is of a completely different nature.
The idea of my post was to make people think before they group together as ideological clones.
When the other side calls all mustard-lovers slobs. Then comes the chant that the ketchup lovers should be strung up. I say, "take it one on one and have empathy" as you mentioned. Talk and find common ground where it exists, then take what you found back to the group and bring logical debate in a calm atmosphere.
I understand your point, however I believe that in any context labels are labels. I follow you, and therefore I will be aware of your topics separately. A greeting!
Saludos @done. Me hiciste acordar al cantante calle 13, una de sus canciones dice así: "Yo no soy comunista, socialista ni capitalista
Creo en inventar algo nuevo, mejor dí que soy idealista
Creo la igualdad de oportunidades infinitas
Creo que la educación, salud y comida deberían ser gratuitas
Creo que el trabaja más que el otro merece ganar más
Pero también creo en compartir lo que tengo con los demás".
Nos encontramos en una sociedad clasificadora, en donde las personas que piensan diferente son excluidas y cuestionadas solo porque no piensan igual al resto. Muy sabias tus palabras. Un gusto leerte.
admirable writing, you should write more often. It's very nice to read you,
You're right, we live in a tagged world, that's how they want us.
I commented to you I am 50 years old, I have worked all my life under a dependency relationship, four years ago I live from what I generate on the web, the day I said is enough to impositions and I began to propose changes, to think it was the moment I stopped serving To the system.
Today I live happy, relaxed in that aspect.
I wish you a prosperous week
Congratulations on exiting the system!
you are very gentle I appreciate your response
I wish you a great day
Me gusta mucho su forma de pensar, a la final todos somos personas sin importar la etiqueta que quieran darnos todos estamos hechos de lo mismo y cada persona es responsable de sus actos de forma individual!
you received an up vote from danlupi with voting power of 94.69%. Estimated dollar amount of $1.11
Las etiquetas hacen que una persona sea juzgada por las acciones de otra si ambos son etiquetados para el mismo grupo. Si una persona de un color x o una nacionalidad hace algo muy malo a alguien que usa etiquetas entonces otros que no tienen nada que ver con el asunto pagan las consecuencias, para ser más preciso me permito citar el caso de los venezolanos que fueron desalojados de un refugio en Brasil porque alguien robó a un comerciante. Creo que dada persona es diferente y debe ser vista por sus propias acciones, todos seremos juzgados de forma individual tal como dices! Que Dios le bendiga mucho!
You are just who you are, and I am who I am, no need for labels at all. All of us no need for label except when we die then the label will be "the corpse". I would reject it as well if I can speak LOL. but most people will be so happy to be attached with good labels. but labels can lead a miss judgement of thing, that work perfectly for marketing thing or self-selling point. Perhaps, those who want some labels are attached on are thinking about selling them self @done. Have a great day
Es lamentable que el mundo este lleno de personas que viven etiquetando a los demas, es un problema social grave, se debe respetar a los demas, el mundo sería mejor si no existieran estas etiquetas.
@done yo supongo que las etiquetas nos permiten un orden por eso las usamos para poder encontrarnos a los que tenemos temas afines. Puede ser que sea discriminatorio, separatista, pero tambien te da cierto orden.
@done I suppose that the labels allow us an order that is why we use them to be able to find those who have similar themes. It may be discriminatory, separatist, but it also gives you some order.
Gracias @done muy amable
Hi @done. All your words are impressive. It is unfortunate that they make us a mold of the ways of thinking, it is sad when we do not question, when we do not know why we act in certain ways. It is very pleasant to read your words. Each phrase is full of many truths, I also have enough ignorance.
I would like there to be more people with the capacity to question.
very good post @ done you are right about those labels of how they treat people who are individuals because we are not noticing how we treat that poor people
La gente que vive etiquetando a los demás jamás son felices; son víctimas de su propio sistema clasificador de personas ya que nunca logran "encasillarse". Muy buen post amigo cetáceo.
The need to belong in some sort of group stems from our own insecurities. The less educated or informed an individual is, the more they need to feel 'accepted' by society.
That said, and since this sort of attitude seems to be the norm nowadays, I take it as a compliment when somebody tells me they think I'm crazy.
Have a good day!
I am of the opinion that basically all people have goodness in themselves, but because of selfishness from seeing, it creates a feeling of dislike for others, for example in a government
Labels are everywhere but quality is nowhere
Hi @done, everything you think is one of the triggers for everyone to have to try and maybe not everyone will care to keep looking right and left every time. why this has to happen and not everyone has to look at the population, religion and even what they are. this is a good inspiration and everyone will read and understand it more thoroughly.
i have many guns and they do all have triggers. People should not.
Even so, I realize that people are sensitive to certain expressed opinions. When I do engage in a conversation, I respect the person's opinion. I cannot remember the last time someone was "triggered" by something I said. Maybe some do have strong opposing thoughts but suppress them, but I cannot be sure of it.
Yes, I like positive thinking from you and this is a thought that can be remembered by many people out there. I am happy when I have to speak to a good person like you @done and hopefully I can see about you the next day. I hope you stay healthy and still provide good motivation for the people around you.
Maybe the opportunity will come when all people want to be friends, do not have to compete, blame and not even the bad attitude that is always put forward. we are all the same and do not have to distinguish from each other. greetings @done
No es necesario ser ignorante, muchas veces nos auto-flagelamos . Por que lo digo. Las etiquetas existen desde siempre y una forma era que las personas se auto etiquetan, solo para caer bien a otro, las personas no entienden que: no hay que rendir pleitesía a otro solo para ser aceptado por ese persona, es lamentable eso y de una u otra forma repito a veces somos nosotros los que permitimos eso, tienes razón en lo que planteas, no es justo ser etiquetado. Bajo ningún concepto.
How true in your words, I think that people who label others is to feel that they are "popular"
Greetings @done, I agree with what you pose in your reflection, and particularly I know that I am far from perfect, but throughout my life I have tried not to get carried away by the labels and prejudices imposed by society, for me there are no distinctions regardless of race, social status, religion they profess, or political tendencies, to name some of the labels with which it is customary to mark people. I believe that we should always try to maintain an objective position, although, I am clear that such thing as absolute objectivity does not exist, because our procedures will always be influenced by subjective aspects, contributed by our mental structures, but we must, make ourselves conscious that day to day we face the diversity of criteria, and different perspective of reality, and that can not affect in any way the criterion of perceiving our peers, sometimes it is difficult, because some people, are more complicated than others, but in the As far as possible, framed in what our imperfect humanity allows us we must be fair to our neighbor.
He leído tu publicación y es muy interesante, he leído los comentarios y también me parecieron interesantes.
Creo que la palabra "Individuo" es inclusiva, no solo se refiere a una persona, hablamos una personas "ÚNICAS".
Como escuché por allí: No somos una fabrica de galletitas.
No podemos referirnos a todos con prejuicio (Sea bueno o malo), deseamos manifestar la individualidad de pensamientos en un sistema que lucha contra ello.
Podríamos decir que somos etiquetados como antisistema o algo así
Por nuestro pensamiento o nuestro accionar, aún así manifestarnos y actuamos contra este paradigma aunque cueste.
Many parties oppose their government who lead cruelly, affix, rape, or even kidnap many people.
Because of this many groups want to stop their actions in order to become a good republic in the eyes of the world
That's really great
Hola @done , Me pareció realmente interesante esta publicación e inclusive muy acertada para la sociedad en la que estamos, ya que en esta todo, realmente todo se maneja con etiquetas sociales llegando a discriminar a gente por sus gustos, su aspecto o su simple manera de pensar, y estaria bueno hacer algo en contra, una buena campaña que se promueva. Me parece excelente tu post, saludos.
Etiquetarse creo que es bueno solo para clasificarse o llevar un orden, pero ya cuando se usa de modo despectivo deja de ser atractivo, en la biblia la palabra nos dice que el evangelio es para todos tanto para los Judíos como los Gentiles sin etiquetar a ninguno como peor o mejores, pienso que lo que debe imponerse es el amor, soy Venezolano y nuestro país se dividió por esta misma razón los etiquetados Chavistas y no chavistas esto lo que finalmente trajo fue el odio y división. Saludos excelente tema, Gracias por compartirlo.
From the moment we are born we are labeled, as time passes, we receive new labels depending on our origin, skin color, religious beliefs, political thinking, among other labels. Finally, we label ourselves and label others according to our beliefs and prejudices.
To think of a world without labels is the desirable thing, nevertheless, to reach it is a utopia.
Greetings @done
Browsing comes to your blog and the theme of labels is very interesting. It can be said that labels help us to classify reality, whether they are people, objects or situations. We catalog the world around us to have the perception that there is a certain order and stability in it and so we can make an outline of how it works without having to perform a constant deep analysis: "you are such", "that person is what", "It has to be because it's like that." @done
Interesting post my friend, it is important to deal with this topic.
Existen personas que les dificulta llamar a otros por su nombre, en Venezuela vivimos en esa discordia, sobre todo en la politica, tan fuerte como el racismo en los 80 y 90, no aprendemos a señalarnos como personas con cualidades propias (ideas) y con identidad natural (forma de ser). le sigo.
Hay personas que etiquetan a los demás para ser centro de atención, pero no se ponen a pensar que tan mal pueden estar ellos. Buen post.
Hay que tener criterio propio y no dejarse llevar por opiniones y etiquetas, trata de ser una persona humilde de corazón así tengas los mil y un títulos de instrucción, entre mas preparado seas debe prevalecer en ti la humildad.
An interesting point in your message @done, sometimes just to fit well with the people who label us, others that we can judge prematurely, it must be different because, we are more than labels, this is how it should be.
Hiii @done you are great writer, your this post is brilliantly written and has much influence and message for others. I already impressed from your generous support to other. And back in 7 months i always think that why you not wrote a post and now when i saw your post its much impressive. Good work and stay blessed.
Good post and nice post @done ,, semoga sukses terus sobatku,, tiap-tiap orang pasti ingin selalu sukses dan sehat...
The posts you made for me are very interested in @done, and I want to share them with your posts and if I don't forget I also always want to visit your blog @done .💐💐💐
Postingan yang sangat bagus @done ,saya ingin mengikuti Anda dan saya ingin membagikan postingan anda ,,,by @minaphotography
