Redefining words

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

this might turn into a spiritual/philasophical debate, so be prepared for it to possibly be moved.



are words concrete? are they set in stone?

can a person truly (and logically) define a word in the complete opposite of it's previous deffenition?

such concepts as good and evil, chaos and order, peace and harmony, i have seen these words to be so loosely defined, and improperly at that, the popular deffenitions are so concieted and ignorant, such as chaos, people most often associate chaos with negativity, they see death and destruction as chaos, and order is the element which negates chaos, but that is just simply not the case.

what most see as chaos, i have learned to see as the natural order of the universe, and what people see as order, i see as death and destruction of harmony.

i have seen peace and harmony confused as well, such as the case of "order can bring forth peace". this is the most ignorant and concieted comment i have ever heard; when's the last time order brought us peace?

no, more importantly, when is the last time order brought upon us harmony of any sort?

order is the true chaos, chaos is the true harmony, and harmony is the true peace.

chaos is the order of nature, yet humanity ever so ignorantly attempts to instill their own order, and the only thing that has come of it yet is death and destruction of nature, peace, and harmony.

Apple refers to the tasty and delicious fruit, not to the stuff that comes out of my ass.

i think that all words are too loose, and in my opinion undefinable. and i have no clue whether or not that made any sense whatsoever

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

depends on the person reading it, made more than enough sense to me.

[dopesmoker]

ok good:)

many of those words are just as we see them. an adverb or pronoun is very loose. any describing word is shaped by wour past and present beliefs and experiences. to one person, good would be the end of death. but hitler was good. mussolini was good. aberham lincoln was bad. hitler was bad. charles manson was a genoious, charles manson was insane. its all about how you see the world around you, i see myself as perfectly sane, when i ahve been in the psychiatric hospital many times. thats one thing about most humans now days, they dont let others have their opinion.

i think drugs can be good, when others think they are absolute evil. just because a person sees something as good; or bad, as peaceful; or chaotic doesnt mean that it will be to you. these words are of deceit

i was blazed off my ass once and stared at the the word "snow" in my away message for about 20minutes thinking i had spelled it wrong because it looked like it was written in another language..that was weird shit lol

[flamingskullballs]

J Buckets:
a marijuana device, known as a "gravity bong"
using a marijuana ciggerette instead of a stem and bowl

[t3chyo]

that was an intersesting read, and yes it made perfect sense, well written.

[Funkamander]

You can define whatever word you want however you want.

But, if you want people to know what the hell you're talking about, stick to Webster.

Now you put a bug in my head. Damn it!

No words are ambiguous; there is no relationship between words and the thing they describe. The color blue could have just as easily have been called dog.

They only possible exception to this might be in instances of otta-motta-pia (ha ha I spelled that all fucked up but my dictionary is not helping :stoned: .) Anyway it's where the word is the sound it makesâ?¦like â??quackâ?�â?¦or â??barkâ?�â?¦.I bet you if I barked or quacked at someone who speaks Portuguese they would know what I was talking about.


The meaning of words have both denotative and connotative meaning. The denotative meaning of the American Flag would be the United States of America. The connotative meaning would be passionately disagreed upon.

If this type of thing interests you than you should look into Communication theory. Itâ??s good stuff.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

it doesnt nessacarily interest me, but it is likely worth a look, i'll try to remember to look into that some time lol
