Shake the Dust Lift a Line
“This is for the celibate pedophile who keeps struggling.”
“Shake the dust.”
I picked this line because it is very risky, very blunt to put out there. I think this author put it in there because he wants the reader to know that this affects everybody, that no matter who you are or what you do this affects you. When he writes “Shake the dust” I think he is saying the shake the labels because everyone has one. Every single person is labeled in one way, shape, or form. We can’t change the fact that we’re labeled, so own it. We can’t get out of having a label. So as he says “grab the world by its clothes pins and shake it out again” which i believe means to show the the labels who's boss, if everyone has a label yours might as well be a good one, if you don’t like your label, find a way to change it. The world can’t help that we label, its human nature, its what we do, so we shouldn't let it bother us and if we don’t like it, “shake the dust” and get a new one.
Labels shouldn't even exist WE ARE ALL HUMAN. Nobody seems to get that, labels don't matter, if someone labels you, then shrug it off and keep going, shame on that person for judging another human being. Yet people are scared because if your labeled then your "popularity" or "social status" is diminished. Why should anyone care about that? Instead of wasting time judging each other, maybe we should put our time into building each other up. Not tearing each other down, and if someone has a physical or mental problem, we should be helping them too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but we all label. I'm not saying that we should label, i'm just saying that we do.
