I discovered one of the reasons blending in just is not an option for me. I will forever be misunderstood and vice versa. It comes from a simple form of communication: spoken words.
For example, the word impossible. It is a single word that means only one thing, but when it is spoken my mind uses another word by dividing impossible into other degrees. There is "Oh that's impossible." Which I take to mean it is not desirable. Obviously it could be done, but no one wants to. Then there are the things that seem unlikely, they are processed to mean unlikely much like making a basketball Harcourt shot with out looking, or getting pregnant in old age, after menopause. Clearly, they can be done but are called "impossible" other feats which are called impossible are the category or degree that earn the title logically undoable. This includes things like a man walking on water, or living after his organs have ceased.
I had been thinking about why I do not like the word and it is more than being obstinate or not taking no for an answer. I think it goes along with being taught that nothing is impossible for God, so in a sense nothing is impossible anyway.
