Definition (Apr. 26)

It seems that a great deal of problem arises from a simple lack of definition. When people use words they have a particular meaning in mind. The problem with that is that someone may have a completely different idea of what something means. Perhaps the difference in definition is because one person never learned the real meaning of the word and only picked up the word in context that lacked clarity. In many cases there is a significant obstacle to overcome in relation to a different culture that may use the same word to mean something completely different. But definitions, even a part from these circumstances are not as clear as we would like them simply because we are forced to describe one word by using other words. This creates a circular form of argument in relationship to a definition leading to a complete lack of definition. The deeper you go in an attempt to describe one particular word will lead to a circular chase as you will be forced to describe every word you use in definition and then every word used in the following definitions, eventually leading back to the original word. This is the curse and blessing of language and a problem that will not too soon be solved.
