People... you meet all kinds of people.  Good people, bad people, silly people... you really don't know how to classify them initially until you've spent a few minutes with them and then - the label.  Good, bad, silly, stupid. etc.  Labels are so ... I want to say they're wrong and yet, sometimes they are so necessary.  I know I have been in certain circles and made certain comments not because I couldn't carry the conversation or add something per se, but just to be the Devil's advocate.  I hate when individuals have so much to say about a particular subject and yet when another perspective is presented, they don't know how to answer.  Yes, I am that person who will bring up the other perspective or argue the point just to see how they answer.  Yea, you might call me hypocritical or plainly a bitch but you know what, if you can't argue your perspective from all perspectives then you suck.  Yup, I said it.  It's the truth.  Before you want to go and present yourself along one line you should know the whole story and be able to defend your stance, regardless.  I'm not bringing up the other side to discredit you, I'm really bringing it up for you to have more to defend your stance.  Stop thinking of your opinions as one dimensional.  Think of your opinions as three dimensional.  Can you argue your point?  Can you cite examples?  No? then either educate yourself or move on.  Simple as that.  Don't take offense.  Educate yourself and then present your case.  The more educated you are, the more people will respect your position and ultimately YOU!
Along those lines, I love life.  Just wanted to throw that out there.  Regardless of where you are in life, think about it, you woke up breathing ... it's going to be a good day.  Someone didn't wake up today and probably had plans so for you, who thinks that today is JUST another day, buck up ... it's YOUR day.  Make it count.  DANCE like no one is watching, Make MONEY like it doesn't matter and most of all, LOVE like it's your last opportunity.  Never know, you could get hit by a bus tomorrow....
As for labels... think about it, what is yours? Do you like it? No? then maybe you should do something about it.  Unfortunately, life is about labels.  We all have them.  Do we deserve them?  Are they self given? Many times, not so much.  The point is, don't leave yourself in a place where others can label you something that you wouldn't want to label yourself.  Food for thought.
