So many names and labels, why are they so important? Can't you/me/we just be ok with who and how we are without seeing what little boxes we fit in?.

Snowflake boxes are a thing so it's no longer the problem it once was.So many names and labels, why are they so important? Can't you/me/we just be ok with who and how we are without seeing what little boxes we fit in?.

Otherwise we can't call a jacket a jacket because then that's labeling it. When it's purpose is to keep you warm and dry. But the label doesn't put it into a box. The nature of the attributes put it into that box, but we assign labels so we can identify and refer to them in conversation and shopping. Otherwise you'd refer to things as thing that keeps me warm and dry, people who have minimal possessions, etc. It makes communication and shopping easier. Try searching for thing that makes me warm and dry vs winter jacket. Pretty basic stuff, kind of like your username...you are labeled so we can identify and refer to you for feedback, threads, posts, PM's.
If it doesn't have a use, it likely shouldn't be in one's life
For the same reasons we have names, so you can identify something. Militia, tall, short, minimalist, hoarder, Police, civilian. It has nothing to do with what box you fit in. You are already IN that box based on attributes. The attributes and label help identify it.
Trimmed for brevity
Inanimate objects don't care about identifying as anything. Not a fair comparison.
OK I'll play, In both my wifes and my cars is a box of survival gear, flairs, blankets, a couple MRE's basiclly enough stuff if stuck in a snow bank for 3 days we'll be ok. One could say that could make us peppers. But only having enough supplies for three days one could say we are minimalists. What box do you want to put us in because we figure we are just people.
