Significance of labels
Posted by exquisitetruth on March 24, 2009
Have you ever noticed how labels inherently raise the significance of otherwise mundane objects? Take an ordinary image, apply a label, and people immediately search for portence in the pairing. The comedian, Demetri Martin takes advantage of this phenomenon for virtually all his jokes.
I think the deeper lesson in this is that we should be on the lookout for situations that cry out for meaning when there is none.
