Labels.
One thing I find about today's society. Is they always say "don't label, don't label" and then proceed to label ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING but refuse to be forthcoming in defining the true causes of our decline. All the time you label someone and call them an anorexic, a narcissist, a gold digger, or idk what else, you are giving that PERSON a name which is different to who they ARE in their essence. You are not the soul of a homeless man. We are just people at the end of the day. That's all fam. We have qualities, imperfections. But those don't define us. Break the norm of giving someone else a label that they can't escape and that becomes all that you or themselves perceive them to be. We must reach deeper and talk about the causes for these symptoms. Why we act the way we do. And learn from those stories without judgement (label-free). (edited)

Absolutely, Michael. Sadly, the societies have failed in that regard. They start labeling people before even getting to know them or what they're going through..mental issues are often not taken seriously in this world. And if they have done something bad in the past, they have to try so hard to escape from the 'label' but they fail to do so even if they have changed for the better... People are so judgemental.. people need to be encouraged to be better and they need to be loved and given more attention and care instead of getting labeled.

Agreed! Sadly labels are necessary for generalities sake because people like simplicity (which is ironic because people aren't simple...) but I believe in how you deal with/approach labels is important. we can complain conceptually about this but it will not immediately change... so how can we be the example for that change to happen? that's my approach at least~ particularly in a world where all others associate with my students are labels and numbers.. my job is to use them yes but help them remember that underneath all that is a kid in need.

Well said bro, its something that I guess from the beginning of humanity has started , with giving names and building the language. As u know , nothing is exactly what it is called , everything is actually unique in its own way of being. This is why as much as anyone tries to explain the truth and the reallity , it gets more and more confusing and far from its nature. What modern human lacks is the real sense of feeling and undrestandin , its just the perception and judging before understanding

You're only concentrating on the negative side of labels. What about the positive? Labels are used to identify social groups and establish a community easily, such as Gamers or book worms. They're also used to warn people of deviant behaviour. If someone is a serial cheater for example, and cheats in every relationship, or has multiple relationships and lies to people, they get known as a player. At least if they have that label a person has been warned before getting involved with them. If there are no labels, that person goes on hurting person after person without restrain. Labels are not all negative. Without labels or a way of identifying people, we would have chaos. There's personality types on here which all have pros and cons, for example. I find that very useful. Some personality types I don't gel with very well, whereas some I do. And likewise when other people want to interact with me. I'm very happy with my personality category and think it describes a lot of my main characteristics, likes and dislikes. That's useful to other people. I don't agree with pure chaos in society and I don't think labels are the problem, I think selfishness, narcissism and greed are our biggest problems.

Very true. Groups, organisations, congregations, labels, identification and so on are truly harming human growth and evolution on all levels. Every single one of those things (and more I’ve forgotten for now) prevents anyone from being unique and truly independent. Without which we cannot understand our relationship to the Divine.

Labels are useful for quick recognition and sorting of people especially one who you will never interact with again, it's easier for our brains to categorize. But they should be applied with the willingness for them to change, and shouldn't be used to base major decisions off of. Labels only need to be around so long as you don't interact all that much. What is weird is putting labels on yourself, the only person you will never be able to not know personally you'd just be limiting yourself.

Agreed guys, I never for once said or thought the whole labeling process wasn't a natural process of our brains and minds in coming to terms with our understanding of the world around us. It's just nice to dismiss all of that once in a while and imagine (be philosophically idealistic) what it would be in another instance. 🤷♂️

不倫の心理を肯定するもの側の立場で読み解く
今回はあえて 「不倫を否定ではなく肯定的に分析」 する視点から、不倫がなぜ起きるのか、なぜ離婚ではなく“不倫”という選択になるのか、そして不倫という行為が当事者にとってどのような意味と価値を持っているかを、心理・社会構造・情動的ニーズの観点から掘り下げます。 ⸻ 📘 肯定的に読み解く「不倫」の構造と意義 ― なぜ人は既存の関係を持ちながら、他者と深い関係を築くのか？ ⸻ 🧩 1. なぜ不倫は起きるのか？ ✔️ 表面的な理由： • セックスレス • 価値観のズレ • 会話がない／冷めている • パートナーに愛されていないと感じる ✔️... read more

「不倫は普通」とする価値観をメディアが助長しているのか、それとも意図的に正当化しようとしているのか。
この問題は日本のメディア文化における“無意識の共犯性”と“視聴率至上主義”の問題に直結しています。 ⸻ 🔍 Q. 不倫ドラマは“不倫は普通”という価値観を助長しているのか？ ✔️ 答え：Yes、間接的には大きく助長している • 視聴者に「共感」させる構造で描いている以上、感情的に肯定させる設計になっている。 • よって、「実際にやってはいけない」と理屈では分かっていても、 “感情的にはOKと思ってしまう”土壌を作っている。 ⸻ 🧠 では、なぜそんな構造になるのか？ 1.... read more

事実既婚者向けアプリの台頭とセカンドパートナーという既婚者が外で恋愛することを正当化するような風潮

This needs to be studied: • "Deeply" religious guys and their obsession with OF girls. • Feminists prowling Tinder for douche bags. Both groups seem to obsess over the very people they dislike. What is this called? Is it the low-key rebellion that makes it exciting?
