BioI jumped over the borderline and it took me years to get back. Even if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have changed a thing. For it is all the good and all the bad of the past that makes each of us into the person we presently are.
Since alot of you were wondering what these words mean to me here you go;
Vipassana- To see things clearly, with insight, and wisdom.
Egregious- As defined in a dictionary, E*gre"gious\ (?; 277), a. [L. egregius; lit., separated or chosen from the herd, i. e., distinguished, excellent; e out + grex, gregis, herd. See Gregarious.] Surpassing; extraordinary; distinguished (in a bad sense); -- formerly used with words importing a good quality, but now joined with words having a bad sense; as, an egregious rascal; an egregious ass; an egregious mistake.
However Kurt Vonnegut uses "egregious" in his book "Dead Eye Dick" to describe the main character, he uses makes note of how is is not a bad thing to be egregious, and I don't think it's a bad thing either, I mean after all why would you want to be exactly like everyone else??
Maenad- In Greco-Roman mythology a "maenad" was a female follower of Dionysus, they were thought of as constantly being in a crazed state. More simply, "maenad" means "crazy lady"
