What words are NOT vague? None. No words have static, determinate meanings. That is why creative, poetic language is better than trying to be technical and precise--because you recognize each word for what it is: provisional, having only a momentary meaning for the specific individuals at hand, that is contained as much in sound and gesture and personal history as it is in the WORDS.

I'm not disagreeing that I will have no clear idea what you're talking about if all you say to me is "LSD gives me spiritual growth." But say I know you a little bit, I have read a lot of your posts and I know what kind of person you are. Then I already have a better idea of your personal spirituality which colors the phrase for me. It won't be the same as if someone else had said the same thing, whom I know to have a very different personality. You COULD be more specific, and that would probably be better, but the phrase is not totally meaningless if I know the context in which you're saying it.
True...and to all, I'm not trying to come off as an ass or anything for anyone thinking that i'm riding the high horse :thumbsup:
