This has been on my mind a lot but I think there's a lot in this world that isn't absolute, but we've all decided as a society that almost everything has to be 100% one way and the fact of the matter is that a lot of unnecessary discourse is caused by this idea of absolutes.--

We have such a weird obsession with giving everything a label and "qualifications" like for example, how we separate animals into different categories like mammals and reptiles but then what the fuck is a platypus if it breaks the rules of what it is (May be a little deeper than-
