Stop putting people in boxes
Step outside your own
Perspectives move us …
Boxes are easy to place people in. Often these boxes contain very little detail and as a labeler require minimal effort or thought. However if we acknowledge the boxes existence and our use of them then we can start to work to empty and break them down. It certainly takes a lot more effort to do this versus filling boxes because doing so goes against the very ways in which we were trained to think. So next time you see a person and you find yourself quick to toss them into a box I urge you to stop and think about a situation as well as if it were your own. Does a single box define you or you in this moment? Absolutely not and I hope we can all work to re-wire ourselves together to destroy all the boxes in the world holding living people. 📷 @lee_lhgfx
