   *No* words have any "true" meaning, by which I intend to   
   mean (haha!) objective meaning, i.e. meaning independent   
   of subjectivity.   
      
   Conceptuality contexts - aka minds - bring meaning   
   to them. In fact, words obscure truth, but can trigger   
   collapse of misplaced faith in words as though containers   
   of truth/reality, leading a reversal of attention in the   
   direction of itself, a sort of remembering who/what one   
   truly is, which is the most their use can accomplish in   
   the direction of truth/reality.
