Multiple meanings

It is rare to find things that everyone views the same. Even words can be perceived to have multiple meanings. Humans tend to view words differently based on what kind of mindset they are in at that given moment. An example is the way two people may view the word “Blue.” If you ask someone currently in a darker state of mind, they may interpret it as “feeling sad and gloomy” rather than thinking of it as a color. The word “good” can be interpreted in many ways too. It can mean moral goodness, refer to quality, or signify approval or satisfaction. Life would be different if words only had one definition. When people are writing or talking, we need context to figure out the definition of the words. If words only had one meaning, we would not be able to understand what the author or speaker is saying at the end of the day. This can be frustrating to people who need help to agree.

On the other hand, it has been this way for a while, and humans are used to knowing that everyone sees things through different perspectives, and we should not judge. This generation’s idea of “not being on the same page” is more normalized. It would not be possible to assign one meaning to a word. It is not because the word is considered “too far gone”; I think the idea of everyone coming together and agreeing on one meaning can be considered “too far gone.”
