Lost

"We're lost."

"No, no, we're not. We just don't know where we're going. I know exactly where we are, and I know how to get back to where we were."

"The definition of the word 'Lost' is: having gone astray or missed the way; bewildered as to place, direction, etc. We do not know where we are going, we've left the correct path, so we are lost. "

"Ah? So we are lost according to your dictionary. According to me, we are NOT lost."

"You can't decide what words mean! The dictionary decides!"

"Someone wrote the dictionary. What set that person apart? Why is it that we all need to fall in line with the meanings that person attached to words? Why can't we free ourselves from such boundaries? The first step to change is to change your thinking, my friend, and you're still thinking in English."
