(11/1/07) STRANGERS

Posted on October 31, 2007 by preciousmomentliving

“Everyone is stranger the first time we meet him or her, even our parents at one time.” D.A.H.

I was sitting here in Shimoakatsuka, Itabashi-ku Tokyo thinking about the words and the power they posses in a symbolically oriented society. I thought about how words and their definitions evolve (change) over time. I thought about the challenges of using words to communicate in a second language without being aware of the energy or emotions that are usually attached to them.

And, I was thinking about a word used very often in conversation, stranger and what it really means. So I decided to look up a few definitions of the word stranger and see how it is defined by scholars and found that they do not always agree. At least I discovered a very useful online reference tool (http://dictionary.com/), for exploring the definition of words.
