We need to change the names

When the ruler of the Principality Vaskovo asked Confucius, what should be changed in the state, he replied:

— Need to fix the names.
Why?
— If no suitable name, then its interpretation is inappropriate. Since inappropriate interpretation can not be success in business. No success in business is not flourishing ritual and music.

If you do not thrive on ritual and music, then the punishment hits the target. When punishment hits the target, people are confused. We need to change the names.





These words of Confucius remain relevant at all times. The name should reflect the essence, the word has to carry meaning. If not, then the word becomes an empty shell, and the meaning is not transferred. Let's think, do we always, when we say "welcome!" we wish health? Often, saying goodbye and saying "goodbye!", we really fill words this wish? And how many words are generally pronounced just like that, without trying to fill them, at least in some sense!

You can go ahead. Today much is said about education: what should it be, how many continue and how many cost. But what is education in nature, why do we not remember? The word "education" educacio, comes from the Latin root educar meaning "eject". Not to impose, not to hammer head of information and to retrieve, open, in man the potential that it has inherent Nature. few people today about education. And "change names" in this context means to return together with the concepts of their original meaning. So they worked.

Much is said about the religious conflicts and contradictions, but this is absurd! Conflicts cannot be "religious." Religion inherently can not and should not be controversial. The word itself indicates it: religare is composed of the root lig, meaning communication, and the prefix re, pointing to recovery and renewal. Re-ligare is the restoration, the renewal of the connection. The Highest, with God, with Source, as if we no called. All men have this relationship, you just need to renew it, and that it unites, unites and connects people. And if something divides people, it certainly cannot be called a religion. Politics, economy, something — Yes, but not religion. We need to change the names.

You can probably find many more examples in our own and surrounding life when certain words are just "concepts" cease to be meaningful and to convey the essence. Well, it's not such a problem because it's fixable. Let us return to the words their meaning, let us less to use empty words and let's discover new meaning in the familiar.
