"Each of us are free to develop our own terms and it really doesn't matter if someone else agrees."

There is an interesting allegory in, I believe, Genesis 10 and 11.

And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth.

For your amusement and contemplation.
