Zeitgeist

"[tsahyt-gahyst]–noun German .

the spirit of the time; general trend of thought or feeling characteristic of a particular period of time." 

A random that popped up on my phone today due to the "Word of the day" application. A lonely word at that since there I checked the Thesaurus and found no synonyms nor any antonyms. I can't think of any word that rhyme with this and I haven't seen it used in  a sentence ever. Its meaning is unique and it has a ring to how German it sounds, but to see such a random interesting word being left so alone...is it not weird?

Should we change this word, or erase it from the dictionary since nobody uses it anyways? or maybe we should change it a little bit to fit with the ever fast growing world. We can make it sound cooler and trendy or maybe...just maybe...we can leave it be just as it is because it's just perfectly "Zeitgeisty" the way it is.

I have come across many people, perhaps not as many as people who have lived tens of years longer than I have, but I have come across quite a few people. They all have different personalities, shapes, opinions, perspectives, and other characteristics, but a certain characteristic strike me as odd the most. I have met a kind of person who I would call a 'blank plate' which would change into anything just to fit with anyone surrounding them. It strikes me as strange that a person would go to such length to be accepted without knowing that it appears rather deceptive and hiding. The reason I find it odd and worth talking about is because maybe, I find my own self a little bit like a blank plate as well. A person who tries his/her best to hide  his/her personality away in order to get along with everyone...but I know that I'm no such character because even though I try to get along with everyone, I will not change myself for anyone to like me rather I'll make them smile with all I've gotten and the rest is up for them to decide just like the word 'Zeitgeist' which turns to be a really nice word which I'm liking a lot currently just the way it is.

Though I will grow up, I will still be me.
