"political correctness: a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
sometimes certain explanations are more fitting than the more widely popularized ones that they feed us in schools and dictionaries. there are certain websites like Urban Dictionary help to give a much more realistic and practical approach to why things mean what they mean. or at least more descriptive and amusing anyways. it is quite funny to see how words evolve over the years. terminologies gain different meanings and similarly words can mean different things. for example: Moot (1587) has a synonym meaning debatable although through popular usage the meaning has been transformed into something completely opposite. im there are a slew of other examples, but as for right now, i need to go to work.
words are just words. the only thing that bears meaning is the sentiment behind them. one can whisper love every day and have lust and betrayal in their heart. a voice is only so strong as the intent that follows. sadly for us humans, speaking is the most reliable form of communication. similarly, for pity's sake we can only trust the other individuals verbal intent without ever knowing their true intentions.
all we have is what we say and what we know. we use our best judgement to get us through the thick times. trusting our gut to move us about our days, however long or short they may be. if some mistakes are made a long the way, that is a natural disaster that we have to learn to take in stride, for the good and the bad can come with equal strokes. we grow up. we get older. we grow thick skin and learn how to be heard. life is an arduous task that we are granted the yoke of when we are born.
