The car’s sticker designated the driver as someone with very good reason to drive slowly, leading Chaudhary to ask himself the question, “Why do we need stickers to be patient with people?” He asked himself a follow-up question, wondering if “we [would] be more patient and kind with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads?”

He realized that everyone experiences personal struggles, even if those difficulties aren’t public knowledge. Chaudhary imagined the various labels a person might wear that would explain what they’re going through, adding, “Labels like lost my job, fighting cancer, going through a bad divorce.”

He included other kinds of challenges like “suffering emotional abuse, [losing] a loved one, feeling worthless, financially messed up, and more.”
