Definitions

What did that mean?

I know, I know,

woke means what?

What does conservative mean?

I guess that definitions for these words live in each person’s mind. When we have to try to get those definitions together,

we do fight. I have watched really smart people struggle with the definition of consciousness for years. Maybe 10,000 years, but feverishly since

at least the Renaissance in Europe and the west.

What about that definition in the east? Asia is huge. There are loads of people there. They all have definitions of this and all other words. Everywhere is like this.

Words are our symbols for the moment passing,

things we try to say to each other

with our complex mouths and pharynxes, our lungs breathing,

our hearts calm or racing, our brains receiving or focused,

our bodies dancing or sitting still?

This is who we are.

What are we saying about that,

definition-wise,

the world over?

Indeed.
