Who are we to label?

As easy as it would be to simply categorize people as either victims or sinners, I don't think it's really that clear cut. Of course, you will always have people that do fall nicely into one of these categories, but I do not think that's the norm. Yes, there are people out there that are truly victims (e.g. people who do not hold the capacity to think or fend for themselves) and there are people out there that are truly sinners (e.g. people who fail to use resources that are easily accessible to them). But I do think a majority of people do fall into the gray area. We never know what everyone's past experiences have been, thus shaping them into the person that we are to label as "sinner" or "victim." Perhaps they are extremely skeptical to use hospital services because they have been victimized by medical error in the past. If someone were not privy to that information, they would most likely label that person as "sinner" and be done with it because that's what it appears to be - someone with the option of using the hospital and choosing not to do so. People are difficult to label because our choices today are shaped by our experiences in the past, so unless we know everything about someone's past, we aren't really in a position to speculate whether or not they bring on their own health problems or are lazy to better their own lives.
