Friday Word of the Day

[44INAROW]

fallacy

DEFINITION: (noun) an error in fact or logic.

EXAMPLE: It's a fallacy to think that "natural" means "healthful"; after all, the deadly poison arsenic is completely natural.

SYNONYMS: misconception, falsehood


BONUS WORD:

repletion

as a noun:
1. The condition of being completely filled or supplied.
2. Excessive fullness, as from overeating.

We have to earn silence, then, to work for it: to make it not an absence but a presence; not emptiness but repletion.

(dang, they must get paid by the COMMA)
:D

I did. Unfortunately I failed and had to repeat the course.:p

It is a fallacy to believe that eating to the point of repletion is
not the equivalent of commiting gluttony.
