Titles and Labels

I am proud of who I am and uncompromising when expressing myself but titles and labels can get annoying. I just wanted to ask you all what your opinions on this subject are. It's just that we are all amazing and wonderful creatures with unlimited potential and I find language can sometimes be limiting.. It's that whole Sapir Whorf hypothesis thing going on..

Yea titles and labels.... I'm not a fan of them. Actually, it's why I'd refer to myself as an Atheist. On my profile I say "an Atheist with very Pantheistic leanings." Okay. I'll stop commenting on every video now, haha. BTW you'll get over the "camera-shyness." I did the same thing; actually, I just deleted the first 30 video's I made because I just sounded... weird. I'm much better with the written word, you know? Speaking ain't my thing.

I prefer writing too. I'm already more comfortable with the camera though. lol I noticed that "an Atheist with very Pantheistic leanings" on your page.. still trying to figure that one out. lol jk I think I get what you're saying.

Wonderfully said. This video could have been better but I really just wanted to open up a convo about it. I'm glad you said what you did. I totally agree. Thank you.

Labels, titles..You need 'em for practical reasons but they limit you at the same time, it is true. For every defenition of something or someone you kill thousands of other potential ideas and truths. But we are social beings, we need and want to communicate with each other and to be able to do that we need to define our world, to 'narrow things down',

[veerleke]

every defenition is a compromise, every word is a compromise and living life together just means compromise. You kind of loose personal freedom but you gain the power of surplus, that what can come into existance as extra when to spirits work and think and feel together. 1+1 is more than two. You win some you loose some, but we kind of have the luxury to pick how much of each.

The oldest profession in the world having the most number of unqualified teachers - is judging others according to ones own belief. No one can win the war or even a battle - so it is best to live your life as your conscious allows you and never share information with ignorant people. Christ said it best: Don't cast your pearls before swine. The smartest man in the world is the one who can live in peace with his neighbor - never unnecessarily offending by way of his tongue. Silence is golden.
