I think the issue for me is that labels feels so constricting. Years ago, I would proudly share that I was a vegetarian. Then at some point, I noticed other people being attached to my label more than I was. They would pounce on me if I considered something outside of my box. At that point I started to see how my ego's need to be "a something" was keeping me from experiencing what else was out there.
Anyway, I appreciate this thread and continue to look within to understand why the subject sparks me at all.
