A New Word

I've learned a new word. I've been reading Lori Gottlieb's book, Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. She is a therapist who gains interesting insights when she becomes another Therapist's patient. For many years, I've met regularly with a therapist or a spiritual director so there is someone who listens to my "stuff" and helps me sort out issues. I've learned a lot about myself from this discipline. I strongly recommend this as a spiritual discipline. The new word is ultracrepidarianism. It is even fun to pronounce and YouTube will give you pronunciation guidance. It means the habit of giving opinions and advice about matters outside of one's knowledge or competence. It is not a good habit to have an opinion about anything and everything. It is okay to say, "I don't know;" especially when it is the truth.
