Helen Fisher: Why we love, why we cheat

Despair- to lose all hope

Example: He was in complete despair after loosing his father, last June.

Preamble- the introductory part of a statute, deed, constitution, or other document, stating the intent of what follows.

Example: "Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness. "-Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929), U.S. author. repr. In Dancing at the Edge of the World (1989). "The Space Crone," The Co-Evolution Quarterly (Summer 1976)


Stagger- To begin to lose confidence or strength of purpose; wave

Example: He staggered backward under the tremendous weight and crashed into the wall after hearing the bad news.

HolisticConcerned with wholes rather than analysis or separation into parts

Example: Our range of services has also expanded to provide a totally holistic approach to environmental consultancy.

AdulteryVoluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse

Example:  Eighty-eight percent of respondents said adultery is morally wrong because of cheating on your beloved.
