the clearest thing i have done is to drop "blame" and ultimate judgment
from my paradigm of "how to navigate the world in a positive manner".
these labels are a moral club we use to try and smite others (and
sometimes ourselves)
meanwhile:
i have an awful reaction to the work "horrific".
it is parroted endlessly and i suspect all who use it.
unfortunately for me i looked up "terrific" in the dictionary and it
does indeed refer to a negative event.
nevertheless, in modern times "terrific" connotes a positive thrill.
combining the two words seems to say "an exciting horror spectacle."
seeing this word used over and over causes me to doubt the level of
thought and original work done by all these glibly parroting or
incorporating this word. i really really have a problem with this word
and those who use it. i have a terrible suspicion of their intelligence.
it is used so frequently i am literally convinced that i am surrounded
by zombies. i'm really not kidding.
