Faith?
#45
RE: Faith?
Ugh, I feel like the bloody dictionary...







I would say that I am

to being stabbed... as I am far more sensitive to being stabbed than I am to many many other things... and notable: it is a very abnormal experience in everyday life for me... and I react to it way more than one would need to react (therefore I react excessively)... sometimes causing additional damage from said reaction (which was unnecessary and certainly not desired). I could get into how everyone is different... but I think you were speaking metaphorically when you said 'as anyone else'. Smile

Instead I ask this: say all humans are allergic to pollen... do they all disbecome hypersensitive to that pollen, simply because most of them are extremely sensitive to it? If I usually watch 5 hours of television a day... is it not abnormal when I watch 3 or 8? Others don't have to do something for it to be normal. Smile

Please understand that a

is just a list of words given a meaning by the dictionary's

s, who may or may not have perfectly defined every one of the many words in their dictionary for everyone in every instance.

Simply: all of language is inconclusive and pointless to argue about. That I try to write the best laws for every case does not mean that I have a: managed to, nor b: thought of everything. I do not believe my definitions are inherently wrong simply because I am an author to them, and have thus far seen no reason to change the opinion of my probably being right. Do I think I've done perfectly with every definition? Of course not. Does that mean I can't try my best? Of course not.

But so long as language is inconclusive: these issues of differing definitions will continue to crop up. At the very least... I question the rules and meanings that seem unfair or incomplete. Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
