Quote
1
In order to be limitless (at least limitless in a kind of generative, creativity way, rather than the seemingly limitless destruction we humans have shown ourselves to be capable of), I believe that we need to be label-less.
2
Why do we label ourselves and each other? Are we suffering from some kind of collective obsessive-compulsive disorder where we fantasize that the world is one giant filing cabinet? How can a human being fit into a filing cabinet? What if we could just appreciate the messy mystery and unknowableness of life?

What is the deal with this need to categorize? This You/Me, Us/Them, Right/Wrong, Good/Bad, American/Iranian, German/Greek, Catholic/Protestant, Jewish/Muslim/Sikh, Male/Female, Gay/Straight? I thought we did away with "separate but equal" back in the '60s. But what if there's no separate?
