We all know what an enabler is: someone who supports someone else in self-destructive behavior. I heard a better, broader definition of this word the other day:
enabler n. One who keeps the consequences of an action from someone else, preventing that person from developing.It makes me think about when I might have been unwittingly involved in an enabling relationship, personally or professionally, on either side.
The funny part of this post:
I discovered a new word (the word is old; my discovery is new) that will compete with
kephalonomancy (also "cephalonomancy") for the title of Rick's Favorite Word. The new word is:
agathokakological adj. Composed of both good and evil.
