i was talking to my frend today , and as udual we were talking abt ppl , ppl we knew , ppl in general....

and i said sumthing spontaneously , which set me thinking for a long time after that... i said there is nothing wrong or bad.. but there are certainly things which are right , and good , and nice.... my frend argued that it sounded contradictory , but to my mind it made perfect sense...you know theres nothing in this world which can be termed as wrong or bad.. cos im sure it makes perfect sense for someone else... similarly no person can be labelled as bad , cos noone can be bad all the time , with all ppl , in all situations... and really wat is bad? a person who is short tempered , doesnt care for others , is violent , rude , or a person who maipulates others? but wat do we know abt such ppl , wat led to this behavior , wat shaped their attitude....

so all of us need to think twice before putting labels on ppl.... studying psychology , i came across this research , which has een widely accepted... parents often call their children stupid or dumb or smart , watever label they use , 90% of the times their children grow up to prove them right.... so all of us need to stop labelling ppl from now on... instead of saying she's a depressed person , say she's suffering from an episode of depression.. try and it'll make a difference

    i did something like this at my philosophy class... it was a study on Spinoza, i think....and he had this theory about good/bad...that said that these are only relative notions, "Good and evil are definitions of Humans not nature "... And yes, it seems only fair that labeling someone should have effects on his personality, as studies also show that small things like telling someone he's stupid, remain in our subconscience...to surface later... i always try to be "diplomatic" when telling somebody something like that. it's a shame though, that i'm one of the few that realize this...
