What makes a cat purr?

If you can name it, you can have it
But when you have it, it becomes something else
---
I wonder if there are a finite number of universal truths and if so whether they can be summed up in a single statement/revelation
---
For truth is beauty and beauty truth- that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know
---
Most people have manners, it's just a matter of how often we use them

My music teacher back in primary school told me if I drank too much carrot juice my skin and eyes
would turn orange. I always thought she was just being mean to me because I had forgotten to do the
homework. 9 years later, in university I learn about a condition called hypercarotenemia, which causes
a yellow-orange discolouration of the skin due to excessive intake of vegetables containing the pigment
carotene and I can't help but feel a little bit sad for having doubted her.
Still, she was wrong about the eyes though

stereo-typical
Define words.
words are mainly used as a medium to communicate ideas/events/actions/emotions/phenomena.
if you can define it, you can assign a word to it.
many words are made up of preexisting words, usually stolen from ancient languages.
Medical vocabulary is mainly just a collection of literal descriptions of the action or of the appearance of the abnormality or procedure in latin. idiopathic, lymphoma, emphysema, mydriasis.
Mydriasis simply means an excessive dilation of the eye. Dilation means becoming wider by increasing the radius of a circle. Radius means the distance between the centre and edge of a circle. A circle is a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a fixed center.Words are just vessels which contained condensed meanings. These meanings are so commonly referred to that their abbreviations are also widely understood.
Why is it that the simpler a word is, the more difficult it is to define it in words?
If someone asked you what an eye is, you could either point to your eye and say 'this thing' or say 'an organ of the body.' or you could continue 'which is spherical and is involved in sensing light and images and feeding it to the central nervous system in the brain.'
so many meanings share the same word. For instance break can mean a separation of a singular piece into two or more pieces, or an interruption in continuity or a change in activity from a more strenuous one to a more restful one after which one intends to resume the strenuous activity. There are words that are specific to each meaning I'm sure, but break can be used, depending on the context, to communicate all three.
If the way we create words is by recycling others then how did the first words come about? how did they decide which sounds to use? how many syllables to have? which intonations to assign? why did the protogermanic people decide to call the moon mǣnōn and chinese people,Yuè. Also why do japanese people pronounce the same chinese character Tsuki?
Irony is another interesting word. Loan words, from other languages when there is no modern equivalent.
carrying our shells on our backs
---
mindset of the creator - constantly dreaming and wondering how to make it a reality.
the logistics and details of making something out of nothing. The putting together of individual parts to make something greater
as much as certain people become doctors, certain people become engineers.
Very practical and grounded. Perfect for dreamers.
Writers and readers.

perhaps words are just an assemblage of sounds representing a fact or concept or emotion or a combination of the three. an eccentric analogy - the most basic of metaphors. spinning worlds out of thin air
