Don't fear labels

I often hear an individual shy away from a label that someone tries to describe him with. They will say they "don't like labels". I say if the label is wrong, supply the correct one. Providing a correct label is an act of courage and shows decisiveness. To avoid any label whatsoever hints at deceit, waffling or perhaps ignorance. Some do not want a label, because they want to talk out of one side of their mouth today and the other side on a later date. One who dodges labels wants to float down the lazy river of life and go wherever the current takes them. One who embraces labels wants to be a steamboat charging down the river on course. Mark one who fears labels, because that is a person that likely deserves mistrust.
