Salisbury Cathedral is a
Church of England cathedral in the city of
Salisbury in
Wiltshire, England. Built in
early English Gothic style, it was constructed between 1220 and 1258. This photograph, taken in 2014, shows the interior of the cathedral, looking eastwards towards the
high altar through the tall and narrow
nave. It has three levels: a tall pointed
arcade, an open gallery, and a small
clerestory. In the foreground is an unconventional modern
baptismal font, installed in September 2008. Designed by the water sculptor
William Pye, it is the largest working font in any British cathedral. The font is cruciform in shape, and has a 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) vessel filled to its brim with water, designed so that the water overflows in filaments through each corner into bronze gratings embedded in the cathedral's stone floor.Photograph credit:

It's always nice to see people or yourself as belonging to categories. Here are some categories that I myself proudly belong to, it helps me become an
indentitist trying to
identify with an
identity:

Food for thought
Just in case you didn't get it, it was a joke. Being something, standing up for soemthing, even if it's anti antiness, is what you could call having principles.
Cervantes said only the man who fights for his principles is truly alive, even if his
hero ends up fighting a lot of windmills. Still, I detest being labeled anything. See what Sartre's take on
this. By the way, as opposed to his own preaching, even he belonged to some categories, and could be labeled as something as opposed to something else. Opposed is a root of many of the problems of the human condition, because being labeled into a category is one thing, being opposed to something is quite different. See what happens when you want everything [
my way], instead of letting a man be his way, in the name of
preemption. Here's another angle on the whole topic,
Honey, pass the bombs.
