We think we can neatly label everything and put it in boxes. "This? oh this belongs in that category. "That? oh thats in that box."
15 year old in love? oh thats under the label "infatuation" - she will get over it.
40 year old in love? if its male, thats "middle age afflction" - he will get over it.
If its female, "cougar syndrome, it will never work out."
25 year old and unemployed? "These days kids dont like to work. No wonder there is so much unemployability"
40 year old and unmarried? "Its so hard to get married these days if you dont do it at the right age"
We know, in advance, the cause and outcome of everything. We are so good at labeling and packaging. Suppose, we stopped, at some point, and looked at the GOODS?
Labeling helps us understand stuff, because after all, things do fall in some patterns. But the risk of labeling is that we tend to do it as a matter of habit - ALL the time, and fail to see the distinctive nature of some things. In missing those some things, we miss out on a lot in life. Because it is the distinctive stuff that makes up the special moments in life.
Today, almost everyone who cares has a theory about why a young girl committed suicide and whether or not her boyfriend should be charged with abetment to suicide.
But sit back and think, do we know enough? To speak and opine, one way or another?
