Failure - Part 2

🎧 PART 2 — FAILURE | The Wrong Words PodcastOxford, origins, and a tough question: is “failure” a final verdict or a redirection disguised as pain? Oliver and Luon pick up Part 2 and push deeper — pulling apart definitions, digging into Middle English/Latin/Hebrew/Greek roots, and arguing that most “failures” are stumbles that teach, redirect, or demand accountability — not death sentences.🧠 In this episode we explore:Oxford’s take (not fulfilling an intended outcome) and why that phrasing misleads usOrigins that frame failure as stumble, collapse, or misstep — not permanent disgraceHow cultural ego + memory weaponize the word and make recovery harderWhen failure should mean harm (to self/others) — and why that shift matters📚 We unpack:Dictionary language vs. lived reality: unsuccessful performance ≠ finalityLatin’s harder edge (deceive / disappoint) — owning our part without self-condemnationScriptural counterpoint (Proverbs 24:16) — fall seven times, rise again — recovery is built in💥 Key moments include:The Ravens / sports analogy: teams fix plays — why people should be allowed “take twos”Origins walk-through: stumble, collapse, miss — and how those words open room for repairA tight landing: when failure = injuring others (or yourself), accountability—not shame—is required🛠️ You’ll walk away with:A practical reframe to spot when something is iteration vs. quit vs. true harmQuestions to ask instead of condemning: What did I learn? Who can help? What’s next?A way to replace weaponized language with accountability, grace, and a “what’s next?” mindset🎧 This episode is brought to you by Community Solutions.
