Annette,

Labeling is inevitable.  We are labeled at birth girl/boy, named, given a religion and so on and so forth.  It is the general labeling that is annoying or glittering generalities and it usually begins with, "All  ________________ then the judgment.  A

To my surprize; most labelers don't keep very good files, go figure.

 Good Tuesday morning Annette. I think it is human nature to either label or segregate folks in a certain box. I don't. Quite frankly, I don't care what label people put on me. I know better.

I think it is natural.  We all have to quantify and classify data and relationships to make our way through life.  Just like your blog has five categories of agents.  It is only natural.

 

Great blog by the way!

We do tag all on our way, it is just a human nature to sort everyone according to our first impression( or sometimes on what we have heard).
