Yes, In that regard we approach our writing on exactly the opposite direction. I am only concerned with feelings. Intellectual understanding is merely a conduit to the heart.

What I learned from my friend was that the meaning of words are not cast in stone. They can change in a moment if we chose to define it differently.

The word Nigger in America has become an incredibly toxic trigger word. In a single moment, my friend turned it into a positive badge of honor.

That's power.

Intellectually, one would think the definition and meaning of words would be less malleable. In truth, that is not the case.
