Word for the Day for Friday, December 19, 2008

The Word for Today is Liberation.

First was the lack, thereof. Then, I complained about web definitions without bothering to give a link!

Well, here are those web definitions that I can now more intelligently complain about, the main complaint being circular definitions (using the word Liberate in the definition).

However, they aren't all bad: "the attempt to achieve equal rights or status", or a less favorable (but, unfortunately, popular with today's corporations), "dismissal: the termination of someone's employment (leaving them free to depart)".

How do I interpret this word? How about Spiritual liberation?
