I know what a platitude is. What difference does it make if something is trite or seems meaningless? What difference does it make if it is original. I strive to be unoriginal in everything that I do. To be unoriginal in theology is to dialogue with tradition and to dialogue with God.


Definition of PLATITUDE
1
: the quality or state of being dull or insipid
2
: a banal, trite, or stale remark

This doesn't contain a value judgement inside the definition. Usually people use the term platitude to refer to something that is boring, rather than something that is explicitly morally wrong.

My point is that considerations of truth should be based on the value of the thing in question, not whether it seems "inspired" or "lively". Those are words that carry in them a deep sense of bourgeois excess and are the fruits of a decadent and evil society, which places a greater value on entertainment than love.
