We live in the age of label-slapping. It’s common and very public, since we can now call people out on social media to let the whole world know how we feel. Things that are common are not always correct. Is it right to get the branding iron out to mark someone else when we hate having that done to us? Just because the culture loves creating and applying negative labels to people with whom they disagree doesn’t mean that this is a good practice. Are we becoming toxic ourselves?
By definition, something that is “toxic” means it’s “poisonous,” and was previously used only when referring to hazardous substances and dangerous chemicals. I get it that we’re trying to say that certain people and situations can be hazardous, but are we liberally using an overused word just because it’s the latest slang term for “someone or someplace that we don’t like”?
Is it possible that we’re confusing the word toxic with something else? This is just a brief examination, which I hope will cause us to carefully consider if we’re becoming too label-slap-happy.

Amen. It made me think of David and Saul when Saul gave David his armor. David could not use Saul’s armor, but went with what was comfortable to him. Not everything works the same for everyone
