Enough time?...

By Vichara


Is there enough time to do everything you want in one day? The answer is of course no. The interactions we have with others and their lives will divert our intentions from what we personally think is important to theirs. But in the diversion could be lie the answer(s) you may have been waiting to hear. Some believe that our daily interactions are not based in chance but with some reasons…could be?

facetious • \fuh-SEE-shuss\ • adjective
1 : joking or jesting often inappropriately : waggish
2 : meant to be humorous or funny : not serious

Example Sentence:
Gwen was being facetious when she used the word "classy" to describe Bill's brightly colored necktie.

Did you know?
"Facetious" came to English from the Middle French word "facetieux," which traces to the Latin word "facetia," meaning "jest." "Facetia" seems to have made only one other lasting contribution to the English language: "facetiae," meaning "witty or humorous writings or sayings." "Facetiae," which comes from the plural of "facetia" and is pronounced fuh-SEE-shee-ee or fuh-SEE-shee-eye, is a far less common word than "facetious," but it does show up occasionally. For example, in a letter to the editor published in the Seattle Times, August 26, 1995, a reader used the following words to describe a column written by the humorist Dave Barry: "Hey, it's a HUMOR column, based entirely upon facetiae."
