Label power 2

Labels are the framework within which we think and feel, so we need nice labels. Like love and trust. Will we always be deceived and fooled if we have nice labels? 

In the analysis of how mind works, labels are a third category. The first category is feelings and the second is thoughts.

Compared to feelings and thoughts labels might seem to be insignificant and almost invisible. Feelings can be grand, thoughts can occupy our mind days and nights. But labels just flash by.

But in the beginning was the word.

And the law system for example is concerned with finding the right label. When someone dies, which label is appropriate: suicide, accident, murder or something else? And the people around, which label is appropriate: innocent, witness, murderer? 

Everything must be sorted under a label or else it is impossible to understand. 

Reality is in constant change so if we have static labels they will become obsolete automatically. 

Good labels have a very strong power, as every teacher knows. The student relating to a good label can achieve great things. The one burdened by a bad label has an internal resistance.

There is a tension between realism and good will. To manifest anything is difficult, and we can not always do it even if we want to.
