Summary

It implies that labels limit our understanding of a person by oversimplifying them and ignoring the intricacies of their personality, beliefs, and experiences. It underlines the importance of realizing that each person is multifaceted and defies easy categorization, encouraging us to embrace nuance and approach others with an open mind instead of reducing them to a singular label.
