Public Service Reminder

Here's an admonition to everyone (including myself):


Stop trying to classify others. People do not truly conform to categories. There's a reason we don't fit into boxes, we're not square. Every person has the capacity to be (and is indeed if you pay attention) so much more the sum of other's perceptions of them. When we are so quick to label and pigeonhole folk we do ourselves as well as them a grave disservice. Get to know the actual person, instead of just assuming to know them because you know their "type" and coloring in the rest of the picture from there.
