     The   meaning  of  a  text  to  each  person  depends
significantly upon the ways in which the words in the text
are loaded with emotional connotations and "baggage" which
is  rooted  in  each  reader's  personal   and    cultural
history.    The dictionary definitions of the meanings  of
each word --- will not tell the whole story about how  the
text  will  be perceived to have meaning to  and  for  the
person who reads the text.

     Each  person,   even  at  the  level  of  logic   and
reasoning, will associate with each word various levels of
importance   as  regards  the  various  formally   defined
meanings  which  most  words  have  in  common  usage  ---
reflected   in   the   defined   meanings   found   within
dictionaries.

     We  need to deal with the fact-of-life that there  is
no  one unique and objectively real meaning  contained  by
any text;    i.e., no meanings which exists independent of
the  people  who read the text.    COOPERATIVE-PEOPLE  may
agree  with each  other about  the  nature of the  meaning
which they discern  when they  read a text.   CONTENTIOUS-
PEOPLE  and   DOMINEERING-PEOPLE  are  likely to  disagree
with  each other about  the nature  of the  meaning  which
they  believe is contained  in the text ---  in  some  way
which presumably transcends them as different individuals.
DOMINEERING-PEOPLE  are  likely  to try   to  impose  upon
VULNERABLE-PEOPLE  the  meanings for each text  which  the
DOMINEERING-PEOPLE    find   advantageous   to   and   for
themselves;  at the  expense of VULNERABLE-PEOPLE whom the
DOMINEERING-PEOPLE   do not revere,  respect,  honor,   or
trust.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
