Thanks for sharing the etymology of "Enthusiasm" Anil. I've heard others state it means "God within". Bill

The origins of words can be surprising, and shows how language evolved, perhaps it is the history of thought?

Absolutely! We are what we think and feel, as much as how tall we are and our girth. In fact, negativity brings on more physical disease than any virus. We are victims of ourselves more so than any environment. Green Deal will accomplish nothing good if propagated by dark minds and soulless hearts. Excellent reminder my friend!

Kaboom. Ya know, (well of course ya don’t yet) I have actually recently thought of going back to uni to study etymology. Learning about the “c” word and it also meaning cow & wondering if there’s a link to erasing the goddess… I love theology too, all of it is the study of humanity, if our nature imho. Thank you! xomo & <3 & peace 4 Ukraine & Palestine & & &
