“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.” ― Roy T. Bennett

Labels are a part of the human condition, and we all use them. Labels can be seen as a tool for understanding ourselves and others, but they can also be used to judge and limit us.

When we use negative labels, such as “lazy,” “stupid,” or “ugly,” we are not only harming the person who hears them, but we are also harming ourselves by affecting our view of ourselves and humanity.

These labels can be harmful because they might cause the person who hears them believe that they are objective truths. This can lead to low self-esteem, depression, and even suicide.

It is essential to be aware of the effect our words have on others.
