Simply labelling people as liberal or conservative is to miss the point that an individual can have divergent views on different issues. Explain with examples.

"Black and white", "yes or no", "male or female" - binary propositions which have bound our life. We have to understand life is not just revolving around two binaries. Rather is a mix of different factors resulting in a awesome variety. There is something in between - something grey. Liberal is one who doesnot strictly confirm to status quo. Conservative is one who strictly adheres to status quo. But a liberal person doesnot necessarily be liberal in all spheres of life.

e.g - a liberal person may have liberal thoughts in political sphere and not in personal sphere. One may agree that democracy is good, freedom is paramount, but may strictly restrict to vegan habits just because he is a Brahmin.

A conservative on the other hand may disallow certain practices. But at times he may display leniency to certain aspects.

e.g - a person who is strictly anti-modern and tries to restrict himself into indeginous indulgences, may at times allow his children to enjoy 'Domino's pizza'.

Hence an individual is a sum of various viewpoint. One cannot simply be this or that. One is a mixture of ideas. Depending on the situation, one expresses himself. Labelling someone defeats the purpose of variety and makes us biased. Because everything the person is seen as through the lens of liberal or conservatism.
