from the mind of critic-11/3/17

From the mind of critic: “If labels help us make sense out of a chaotic world, but also inhibit our personal evolution by making us less human to each other, where is the middle ground? Is there a way to label something to better understanding, as opposed to deepening ignorance? Are labels ever objective? The act of labeling like life, is dependant on the persons intent. If somebody wants to insult, persecute, belittle and dehumanize somebody else, they can label them, so they know what to avoid, and what to claim vast knowledge on, even though actual knowledge of the person or their background is nil. However, if somebody wants to admire, support, build up and love somebody else, they can also label them, in the act of trying to put words to the vast power of their awesomeness. Once we realize that the road to hell is only paved with good intentions, when actions aren’t a blip on the radar, we’ll see it’s actions and words working together that make a complete human being , not either or. Whatever path we take to get to better understanding is a good thing. However, if our intent is good, but our actions lead us away from better understanding, we must take an honest look in the mirror.” 🙂
