I have a large vocabulary, and I tend to use a lot of carefully chosen words. This isn't about “looking smart” or “looking educated” and it certainly not about how I, as a person, compare to anyone else in any way. It's about trying to express myself very specifically to reduce the chances of being understood. Especially in today's world when a growing portion of the population seems to suffer from alexithymia. I believe imprecise words selection is part of the signal conflict that has led to some common confusion over certain feelings. I'd like to clear up a few of those, if I could, by explaining various concepts and suggesting the precise terminology that could help to keep them clear.

Love is NOT indemnity, nor is it obedience, nor is it obligation.

Gratitude is also not obedience, nor is it a debt incurred, nor any other transaction.

Just as apology is not restitution, forgiveness is not absolution.

Resentment is the opposite of gratitude, and hatred the opposite of respect; neither constituea an opposite of love.

Modesty is bullshit, humility is essential.

We all have to make sacrifices, but no one should ever be sacrificed.

Needs of many outweigh needs of few or of one; but a need, even of only one, outweighs even unanimous desire.

THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS ALLTOGETHER.
