Word Creation Wednesday...

Here's the word for this week...

"Biosimplification" - The tendency to assume that you understand the nature of an individual and the scope of their entire life from a series of brief interactions with that person. While we find it demeaning when our life is "biosimplified" and intuitively we know that our assumptions are most likely overly simplistic, we continue to "biosimplify" others as it allows us to categorize people and in the process ignore anything that God may be saying to us through their lives. The truth (if we can admit it) is that it's just simpler to write someone off than to actually take the time to get to know them. And simple is good...right?
