Labels are only valuable in fashion

The day you label anything you diminish it

Labels are only valuable in the fashion industry, you can put a fashion designers name on a piece of cloth that’s worth next to nothing and you immediately increase its value; by how much is dependent upon the popularity of the designer.

The same does not apply to people, the moment you label a person you stop learning anything new about them because you have put them in a box with all the rest of the things you label. An pink cardigan will always be a pink cardigan, however, a pink person will lose their tan and revert back to their original pasty white colour.

Black, White and Brown are colours, they merely add to the physical description of an object. Anybody who’s been alive for long enough will understand people are far too complicated to be labelled in such a manner.

And so I believe, every life matters, regardless of its colour.
