We "label" people as a way to help us identify, associate and categorize them. There is a natural human tendency to want to compete against one another but that has everything to do with the growth of the whole and not the individual. What's more powerful, however, is the need to relate to one another, human being to human being.

The "us and them" is nothing more than ego-trippin'. It has everything to do with looking down on those who do not fit into a particular group. It's about clashing. There is no resolve to this kind of attitude, just animosity, hatred and disgust. Having an ego is one thing (we all have it and it is a good thing to have) but the whole superiority complex of we stick our claim because we're better than you gets old.

In a successful business the heads of companies value every employee, client and customer. They understand the rules that everyone has a role. Sure, some roles are more important than others but all of the people are treated with respect and dignity. See, everyone wants to feel and be important.

This community (vB.org) is important to all of us in some way. By treating everyone else with the highest quality can only benefit the community we share.
