aphar | classifying people....

There are 3 kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who cannot.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who can count in binary and those who cannot.

It appears to be a popular theme these days: is it appropriate to classify people, and, if yes, what classifications are and are not appropriate.

E.g., is it OK to divide people into...

"faithful"/"infidels"?
"smart"/"stupid"?
"Jews"/"Gentiles"?
"nice"/"rude"?

I think that people who indulge themselves with such discussions do not realize how unbelievably lucky they are to be able to afford that. They are forgetting the fundamental classification - "those who want to kill myself"/"those who are not interested in killing myself" - probably because they think that the first class is void or vanishing.

Look and flinch at these pictures of Arabs lynching Arabs.
Read about Justice in Saudi Arabia.
Contemplate whether you would enjoy being a dhimmi.

Think again.
