Labels and Lies

A book, a thing which we read from and gather data. A book is neither a weapon nor a shield, yet a book darting towards an unguarded head becomes a weapon.

A book held close to the chest refracts an object aimed at a in this instance it becomes a shield.

A book is a weapon, a shield, an umbrella, a paper weight, a shoe, a pet, a jewel…

A book is not a book, but a book is a book when we see it so.

A label is not an identity but perhaps a lie we chose to believe.

Labeling can be a form of imprisonment because it limits the true potential of an object, being or relationship.
