RE: 10 Times People Caught Keanu Reeves Being a Hero in Real Life
I think it would be smart to not giving labels to oneself. It is good when people are unable to label me. I would say that is the most peaceful state of existence. It's kind of difficult, though when I am in an environment where business is tough and self-marketing over important. Maybe changing lifestyle would help:)
It is a great point you bring up. People make assumptions about others when they find out they consider themselves to have a certain type of politics. This is why I personally tell people I am a "classical liberal". It is not something people hear much, thus, is less likely to come with assumptions. Free thinkers rarely find people they agree with on everything and being boxed in can be frustrating.
Thanx.
Yes, speculations and assumptions are hindering communication and can block understanding by quick judgments. How about not speaking in political terms altogether? Being asked where you stand politically, what else could you answer to make clear that you are a caring creature?
Good that your term "classical liberal" is not occupied that much.
One could speak of term-abuse :-) Also, using totally new or friendly terms stubbornly could be of help.
I must go to bed now. It's getting late. Good night from here.
Platforms like this that draw so many free thinkers give me hope for humanity. The modern education system and political divide and conquer strategies have completely taken away peoples ability to interact with others who think differently.
Me, too.
So let's prove this furthermore that the freedom of thinking is something we are capable of and look where and when we can find each other. :)
