    I don't like any sort of self-labelling or labelling others.

    Sure it's inevitable, the mind discriminates thats the way it goes. We need certain labels and concepts to communicate our ideas to others...But I just think when people start becoming obssessed with labelling it causes all sorts of problems (wars) and divisions in society (sub-cultures and violent 'rivalries's between them).

    I meditate, I believe in karma, I try to live according to the teachings, but I never label myself a Buddhist. I just don't like the idea of having to constantly live up to a label. It's best to just not label myself anything and feel free.
