My Favorite Word

What's your favourite word? Mine is Arbitrary Think of it. SO much in our "society" is based on arbitrary decisions; land rights, laws, rules, religion.

Ask yourself: Who makes the rules, laws, sets religious rituals? PEOPLE And who gives them the authority to say what's what? Who or what entity empowers them to do so? Think about it. Our society is based on arbitrary rules, regulations and laws thought up, pondered over and ultimately voted on by those who have been deemed educated, morally righteous or wise. People in power make the rules we all live by. Only those in power have the power to change the rules and laws. Those who don't have power must obey. So you see now why I feel so strongly about the word arbitrary. What's your favourite word?

 

UPDATE in 2022 this word has so much relevance in light of the nonsense over Covid-19.
