When The Meaning Of Words Are Hijacked

I rarely use the words "feeling(s)". lol.
Also, intuition, I think of just as more sensitive perceptions - abilities many seem to have lost, hence appear miraculous when they manifest them.
I think it simplifies human psychology by having fewer functions - words can have many shades of meaning that hide the fact that they are just one function with different magnitudes. We don't speak that way, but "happy-factor-2" would be a different word to "happy-factor-9" ;-)

Exactly. I've mentioned before that I believe many things that seem supernatural to most is in fact somethign natural we have been tricked into disregarding and allowing to atrophy through misuse.

This made me laugh, yet your right. Sometimes words are not only ineffective but actually are harmful for trying to point where we mean due to their many shades that can at times be contradictory.

Tho as I wrote it, it did strike me that that kind of Newspeak may be more accurate - the aim not to reduce vocabulary to reduce thought, but to clarify thought. mmm...
