An auto-antonym or autantonym also called a contronym, contranym or Janus word, is a word with multiple meanings (senses) of which one is the reverse of another. For example, the word cleave can mean "to cut apart" or "to bind together". Thus the lyrics from Stephen Sondheim’s/”It’s Like I’m Losing My Mind” “The sun comes up I think about you The coffee cup I think about you I dim the lights And think about you Spend sleepless nights To think about you The morning ends I think about you I talk to friends I think about you And do they know? It's like I'm losing my mind!
For many a Jewish individual, with the passing of our Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), it is settled, in Our Book of Life, the matters of the next year. Our God has written; therefore we are and will be, but perhaps a miracle or two and wham bam thank you, God, for a second or third chance to dance the dance again, even when the music was supposed to end! Ain’t Life Great…whose life exactly? But then, Matters of Finance, lets just call it Money, a fruit from which an elixir of power, prestige, and the hope of erasing impotence outweigh, much of ANYTHING else, and the rest of the non-Jewish world, and sadly for some of the Jewish world, continues IT’S, swirl in a dervish like spin and evil, chaos, crime and corruption thump and bump, and Books of Life for many find fewer chapters, and fewer sentences ending, and they lived “happily ever after.”
The Kurds are now on the extinct list, the rights of the LGBT community on the soon to be exempt from equality book of laws. Females who desire freedom and choice of their reproductive rights, and pleasures of their bodies, waiting to find out if we will now announce “under HIS eye, “ before acknowledging their presence just to dismiss them as chattel, and commerce. Children, growing up in a country, they have become to love and live and learn as their own, just might not be good enough to remain free, because bigotry and racism are more Christian traits than, love and inclusion. And lies represent truth, the truth can be manipulated by the sheer weakness of humans who seek on rung up on the ladder of life than those they do not know but think they fear. Words fly like wild snowflakes in the midst of a blizzard, blinding us because after a while they all sound and look the same, and none of them become unique or identifiable. And on and on and on and on…we see what is right in front of us, and, still drive our cars towards the cliff, shouting, “Oh my, should we be stopping, shouldn’t we be applying the brake…but we drive ahead, ANYWAY!
“All afternoon, doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left Not going right… It's like I'm losing my mind!”(It’s Like I’m Losing My Mind”/Stephen Sondheim) Trump remains in power, even though the intelligent, the introspective, the smart, sophisticated, soldiers of American freedom, swear, and plead, and beg, that we Impeach, remove, jail and even contain this man in an ASYLUM for the Criminally Insane. And all I can do, EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT…is think about him, and worry, wonder and ask WHY!
