To see people without labels

This short post from Shaun Groves got me thinking about how often I label people (pretty much everyone I come in contact with has a label on them somewhere in my head) and how that makes it easy to just discount or even ignore what they say.

Not sure if it will be successful or not, but today I am going to try and live and work and move around without seeing labels.

Jeez - I didn't even get this post done and someone attempted to chat with me and I to really put extra mental energy into listening to them because they have the 'doesn't say anything worth listening to' label in my head. I swear these labels are like tattoos in my brain, they are tough to remove....

Must be a process to get rid of them.
