Songtsan Posted July 2, 2013 Definitions that we use are ideally shared thought constructs, agreed upon labels for things, etc. Unfortunately, in the real world, it doesn't always work like this. When disagreements occur, a lot of the time, it is due to misagreements betweens definitions, although it is not always apparent. So it is important to always and constantly refresh ones memory of the definitions of the words one uses in order to avoid misdirected energy expenditure arguing over said definitions. If you ever feel vague about a word you are using, never hesitate to go check it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
