Comment Comment by _carbyau_ I'm not the author of the post you critique.I suspect if you just have a "label" it doesn't do much. But the label now makes information a keyword search away. Hence their commentary:instead I can learn from and lean on hundreds of thousands of other people who have to cope with the same thing.Which would lead to learning strategies to deal with the day to day rather than struggling to find your own way.Knowledge is power. But power still has to be used to mean anything.Once you've learned the strategies that work for you. Then I guess the label loses it's power. parent _carbyau_ 1 year ago
