The Danger of Labels
Converging current events prompted me to toy with this idea. But no matter how I start it, it comes back to people feeling uneasy without them.

About Me
- Pascal Fervor
- There is a good chance I have had a hand in providing you the technical marvels that both communicate to you and permit you to communicate. Due to my having virtually no control over how badly that technology is used, this blog is my extra effort to remedy some of the worse elements. And since writing does not come easily to me, this blog is a lot like doing penance. I certainly hope I provoke a deeper insight or two into things that you otherwise probably would not look into on your own. I can get lost down deep in things and rely on friends, such as yourself, to pull me out when necessary. So, if something I write gets a bit too obscure, please don't hesistate to ask: "WTF are you talking about Pascal?" A better understanding of my purpose can be found at the top of the page at my website, PascalFervor.com

We do otherwise we are all grey...
I am a Dirtbikerrightwinglibertariangrumpyolffart. How's that for a label. :-)
And your chosen label became inaccurate even as you created it. You found humor that belies your preferred grumpy state. =)
Among the many worst shortcomings are experienced by those who label themselves. A label, even one created as a joke, may project a strong self-image. Such an image can easily prevent one from functioning in an area or in a way where, in fact, one could succeed easily. As a parent I have struggled to help remove such self-constructed obstacles from my kids. Good teachers do the same.
This olffart is still learning ways to excise such self-inflictions from himself.
Quite true Pascal.
However I do think there can be a "positive" way of labeling oneself. I for one consider myself a sheepdog, not a sheep. :-)
Also as you say, humour has a way of cracking negative views.
