enough with labels.

Christian, Atheist, Republican, Democrat, Jew, Muslim, Independent… they’re all starting to fee like lazy words to me. Easy words. Just something we throw out to others so that we don’t have to really talk about what we believe, value, or search for in the world.

More importantly, words we tell ourselves so we don’t have to wrestle in our own mind with what we believe, value, or search for in the world.

How do you treat others? How do you want to? What do you want for your life? For others? What do you want for a society? For kids? For friends? For enemies.

These are all better conversations than arguing about which label we are or aren’t.
