To keep your identity small is probably akin to becoming a small Buddha. Identity is even a dominant political trend in itself. "Identity politics". I agree with the premise of the post. I just cannot see how it can be done. I think it's better to learn to accept differences gracefully rather than minimizing the identity surface. It's also my way to test people and communities. Try to disagree on something they consider basic. They way they'll treat you shows who they really are. |

Learning to think and communicate in terms of what people and things do rather than labels, i.e. what they are, has been helpful for me.
