Look beyond limitations…

By Vichara


Don’t deny / rob the many the universal knowledge you would like to share because of a select few that refuse to see beyond their own limitations of exploration. It is not enough to sit back and be dictated what you should feel or know. Think for yourself. Investigate! Don’t rely on others. Sample from many places, listen to many voices and the distilment of ideas, theories and facts. They will all find a home in your cranium and help develop your own life, not another version of someone else’s.

dilapidate • \dih-LAP-uh-dayt\ • verb
*1 : to bring into a condition of decay or partial ruin
2 : to become decayed or partially ruined
Example Sentence:
Although years of abandonment had dilapidated the old warehouse, Stuart still thought it could be salvaged and remade into an apartment building.
Did you know?
Something that is dilapidated may not have been literally pummeled with stones, but it might look that way. "Dilapidate" derives from the past participle of the Latin verb "dilapidare," meaning "to squander or destroy." That verb was formed by combining "dis-" with another verb, "lapidare," meaning "to pelt with stones." From there it's just a stone's throw to some other English relatives of "dilapidate." You might, for example, notice a resemblance between "lapidare" and our word for a person who cuts or polishes precious stones, "lapidary." That's because both words share as a root the Latin noun "lapis," meaning "stone." We also find "lapis" in the name "lapis lazuli," a bright blue semiprecious stone.
