The Enneagram gives us a framework for doing just that. We find a way to honor and love the diversity of ourselves and others. Any system, even a good one, can be misused. However, we all categorize every day. Of course, we try to look beyond our simple categorizations to the human being beyond them.
Categories are our way of making sense and order out of our world.
But we need to hold them loosely, seeing them for the very incomplete picture that they are. So it is with the Enneagram. No 2 snowflakes are alike, though they have much in common. No 2 people are alike in all ways, ever. Hold it lightly.
