"Meaning" is a human concept.

"Meaning" is a human concept.

And not all people's concepts are the same. For instance, I call myself an explorer but have to explain my concept of the term because it has come to be synonymous with terms that aren't anywhere near what I'm trying to describe. Older languages that still have their roots have distinct terms for for it. In Greek, I mean εξερευνώ, in Chinese, 探险 but in English, it simply isn't there - as a "concept" - and, so, I can't properly convey a description of the actual experience because it makes no sense in English.

On the other hand, in Greek and Chinese, both, it has no synonyms and, so, is probably a dead word/concept.

I find most people impossible to communicate with. Not necessarily because most don't understand what I'm trying to say but more like they...resent...the existence of..."a third idea". Particularly one that makes their side of the bickering appear as..."rationalized" as the other side - I guess. They implore and deplore. They don't explore. They wouldn't be caught dead exploring. It would be like confessing ignorance. It would make them appear to not know.

People have no concept of dialogue. They argue. Agree or fight. Explore? No way!

I'm an explorer and I confess: I don't know and that's my interpretation of "no meaning". Not knowing.
