Try not to get too caught up in words.
In much the same way that the map is not the territory and the menu is not the food, words and concepts are just pointers and not the real thing.
In an age when people seem to worship buzzwords en masse, I invite you to slow down and seriously consider what they’re really pointing to.
Don’t be afraid to go down the various layers of meaning we’ve ascribed to them until you get to the truth of them.
Like peeling an onion, you might be surprised at what you’ll find at their core. So pick any word or concept and go at it.
All you need is passion for truth.
