Hardening of the Categories


“There is no graver threat to the process of discovery than that dread disease, ‘hardening of the categories.’” ~ Bob Miller
Just push back from the table,
use a little willpower.
If you cared about your family
you'd stop drinking.
You could learn to read
if you set your mind to it, you're not stupid.
He's a narcissist, he'll never learn
to care about anybody but himself.
She's hopeless, might as well be locked up;
don't waste your resources there.
Categories.
What of the folks who are different?
What might happen if the categories
were scratched and hope happened?
