My best new fave word I learned on the Web ~
"Lamer"
A new generation coined an important word ...
Lamers cripple others, instead of empowering them.
Naming is important.
Putting words to something powerful is important.
To call a Lamer a Lamer
frees one, to some extent.
To call Abuse what it is: Abuse
also frees one, to some extent.
I once write for an editor who was a Lamer.
She made me feel like there was something
wrong with me, as a writer, and that
impacted my ability to write.
Later, I learned that other people called
her a Lamer.
And they, too, felt what I felt.
That helped me immensely.
A powerful Lamer can truely lame.
Naming a Lamer a Lamer
can help you walk again, for many reasons,
not least of which, you stay away from danger.
And that gives you time to heal,
vs. exposing your self to re-injury.
