The trap of labels

There’s a mental trap lurking in our natural tendency to label things around us, and perceiving them in a binary good-or-bad way.

When I look at the current politics, one thing that strikes me is the lack of dialogue. Not because somebody is inherently wrong, or right, but because we spend too much time labelling each other instead of trying to understand.

We all want to have a happy life, good economy, friendly neighbors, and bright future. It won’t happen, unless we learn to live together, sharing knowledge, experience, and seeing good in each other.
