Religion may be loosely defined as a set of rules for people to follow, but what a lot of people fail to realize is that those rules aren't so much of a way to trap one's mind or body into acting differently. People judge so much in today's society and don't care to understand because they either don't want to or just can't handle it. Either way, religion may be a word we use to label different ways of thinking, but every religion out there means something more than what other people who don't get it would judge it as.
Minimalism is the idea of living with less things and getting more out of life. The less things you own, the more likely you are to realize what's more important to you and how you actually want to live your life. Minimalism and simplicity may be similar, but the difference here is the label itself. Being minimalistic means something different to everyone and even though minimalism is supposed to help detract consumerism, some people still like to label other people based on what they're doing right or wrong.
When it comes to high school, we all have our own perceptions of what it's like based on different stereotypes and labels that the movies put on people. If you have an active imagination and think that high school is like the movies, then you're just setting yourself up for disappointment and embarrassment. However, if your high school IS like the movies with the bullies/mean girls, nerds, jocks and outcasts, then I stand corrected. Either way, labeling people or judging them based on appearances or social activities isn't going to benefit anybody. Your time in high school is what YOU make it out to be. Go find your own friends and focus on what matters most to you; putting labels on those other kids in school isn't fun and can damage your own mental stability; trust me on that.
Judgment seems to run rabid in society today in one way or another, and the labels we put on each other or on groups of people subconsciously doesn't really help the situation. But alas, I know that I can fall victim into this mindset as well; nobody's perfect. The biggest leading contributor to this factor is the things we watch on TV or Netflix. But if it's not that, then it's probably your own harsh experiences in life. Humanity may be screwed up in some ways, but when we get outside of our own heads and pay attention to our surroundings, things will become much clearer. But to close out this post, allow me to say that reality isn't something that you can put a label on; it is what it is. Reality is constantly changing based on different events that happen in life.
