## Resource

In this Side Salad, I challenge the reflex to reduce people to labels. What if the “liberal,” the “illegal,” the “piece of…” or the stereotype you casually assign doesn’t tell the full story? What if the person you’ve minimized excels in ways you’ve never considered? This episode asks a harder question: What does it say about our character when we choose dehumanization over curiosity? Sometimes labels protect our comfort. But dignity requires something deeper. A short reflection on character, projection, and the discipline of seeing people as human.
