I used to wet my bed 50 years ago. Does that make me a bed wetter? I once had a fight in high school, does that make me a violent offender? What I see happening mostly is that people do not grow up mentally and emotionally. They still see things the same way they did when they were young. You just keep on thinking about your thinking and you are on the right track. Thanks for the post. Labels can get old.
