Tiffany,

I am not seeking to be satisfied or to convince you. I am seeking to understand. The only way we can understand each other is if we use words as they are defined long before we got here or if we agree on new the definitions.

I truly lacked understanding because when I read the phrase “take authority”, I understand it to mean “to take control, dominion, to settle issues, to judge, etc. ” rather than “to nourish, to cherish, and to self-sacrifice”.

In order to understand you, I have to know how you define words. Once I understand how you define words, I think I can better communicate.

You have been generous with your time
