  • Romantic words were incorporated differently into other languages as the Roman Empire’s influence spread. Words like inflammable have more direct Latin roots than words like indebt. So where Inflammable comes directy from the latin inflammo, indebt came from old French and middle English, going from something like endetter and endetten, using the root word dete and dette, but stemming from the root Latin word, debitum. Then en became in at some point.

    That’s how I understood it anyway through a very short amount of google searching. Anyone feel free to correct me.

    Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence - Alan Watts

    And then there’s another one about trying to separate the waves from the ocean, but I can’t find it. So here’s another Watts.

    You didn’t come into this world You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.

    No worries, dude, I get it. I’ve had my work taken before. It’s nice someone liked it enough, but it kinda sucks a lot when you worked hard and they can’t or won’t even mention your name.

    It makes me itch a little bit when I see that someone hasn’t even put their name on their own art. Like, take some pride in it!
