If you label something, it is not a truth but a snapshot of your particular perspective at that point in time. A Buddhist would argue that nothing is static, everything changes and evolves all the time. I always had a little mental construct I like to bring out of the hat sometimes. Consider sequence. A person rushes to save a child from an oncoming car, risking their life. "What a hero!! What a great guy!" Next week, he chops the head off his neighbours hampster. (I don't know why I find that funny. I'm not a psychopath!
)"The brute they cry!"
Consider the switcheroo. A guy chops the head off his neighbours hampster (again I'm chuckling and I don't know why!
), "The nasty man!" Next week he risks his life to save a child. "He is still nasty. See what he did last week?"
The point being that if you do the bad thing first, you are always bad, but if you do the good thing first, you are good, then bad!
Edit: Who defines rude?
