What a truthful and relatable article, @getonthetrain! Gameshows can be the worst culprits. How many times have you seen this introduction for the contestants.
"Your name is? "Blah Blah... "And you are a?"
Lol, "you are a?" Talk about putting someone in a box and sealing the lid! We are viewed all too often as just a tool for society, which you demonstrate expertly above. Great stuff, bro!
(p.s. Thank you sooooo much for the resteem.)
See, its so everyone can put them in a box right away. It brings comfort to those people. You ever hear something from someone who doesn't want to go in the box? They say something like I am a entrepreneur, pilot, rock climber, chef, artist, author, sea captain, hang gliding enthusiast.
The other person usually goes like "Wow, you do a lot of things!" As they buy time to try to stuff all that in a box in which it will never fit. Its like this gif.
You know how frugal I am with resteems, but you earned it! :D
