The danger of labels

It is modern habit to create labels for everything and then continuously sub-divide them into even smaller labels, treating them like real things with real lines of demarcation. However, the more narrow the label, the more the truth is squeezed out of it. The medical and psychiatric fields employ this approach to such a high degree, that they lose touch with the humanity and wider truths of a person’s suffering and ailments.
