Praxis
Praxis is a complex activity by which individuals create culture and society, and become critically conscious human beings. Praxis comprises a cycle of action-reflection-action which is central to liberatory education. Characteristics of praxis include self-determination (as opposed to coercion), intentionality (as opposed to reaction), creativity (as opposed to homogeneity), and rationality (as opposed to chance).
I like that, esp the part about intentionality. I hate it when people (including me) believe stuff as a reaction to what others have said. I want to believe stuff that is true in the light and the dark.
