Have you ever heard the word “adiaphorous” before? I hadn’t, until I got this in an email yesterday:
.
I’m going to try to remember and use the word “adiaphorous” because the human mind naturally thinks of things as being either harmful or beneficial, and focusing on the adiaphorous might be a way to live non-judgmentally.
If I can’t remember to use the word “adiaphorous,” that’s adiaphorous.
Do you see anything that’s adiaphorous in my images for today?

Here’s what I find when I search YouTube for “adiaphorous.”

Thanks to all who helped me create this adiaphorous post, including YOU!
I’d never remember that word, its too long for my liking!
I’ve already forgotten it, Carol anne!
I am ambivalent about bringing the new-to-me word adiaphorous into use, Ann.
That’s neither good nor bad, my good friend.
Thanks for sharing all those great words! So fun. Also fun: that pizza topped with mini pizzas.
I’m glad you enjoyed all that, Debbie!
I know all Greek words LOL Yes, grew up/educated in Greece. We use the words on more than one occasion with different meanings. Its Etymology (another Greek word) makes it possible. Thanks for sharing! p.s. My fav word is “healthy” it can be a healthy body, a healthy mind, a healthy relationship, or a healthy thought… Have a great weekend Ann, and followers.
Thanks for this great comment!
I just finished reading Entangled Life, a book about the wonder and weirdness of fungi. Many fungi are beneficial—they make life on Earth possible, but so many more are just adiaphorous.
Your comments are always beneficial, my good friend.
my favorite word is ‘rigamarole’
Great word, beth! My husband Michael says his own made-up version of this — rigamaroo.
love that.
Another wonderful word, Ann. I hope I can remember it! 🙂
I’m having trouble remembering it, Debra, and that’s adiophorous!
