You're so right. Every day really is a learning day. At least, if we want to keep growing as people. I'd rather grow from learning than get stuck from intransigence.
And yes, many words get misconstrued from misuse overtime.
Sometimes it's worth reclaiming those words for their proper meaning.
Other times it's less about the words and more about misperceived concepts.
I personally like being assiduous with deciphering and communicating the meaning of words and concepts, yet sometimes face discomfiture in the process if it triggers others to inimically reject or shut down communication.
Be that as it may, I love communicating and philosophising, so I'll continue to do so.

Hey, thanks so much for your thoughtful comment @bashadow!

Blissful blessings and smiles

PS. I like your "This comment is protected by dustsweeper" comment footer. I love dustsweeper! So is this just to let people know that if they leave a dustvote that it won't be wasted as you'll still get payout?
