Neologism means introducing a new word or giving fresh senses to existing ones.
More broadly, it also includes a new doctrine, especially a new interpretation of sacred writings.
In societal advancement, neologism plays a significant role.
It replaces and adds to human thought.
Our rituals, customs, and traditions, especially those rooted in religion, are reviewed when neologism is introduced for their relevance in an ever-changing world.
As George Bernard Shaw quipped, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
In the broader context of human progress, the call of humanity seeks to re-evaluate not only religions but also social and political institutions.
The Left and Right “isms” that once framed societies may no longer serve us in the same way.
Their values and behaviours must evolve.
Neologism is not a mere play of words.
It is part of the ongoing resolution and management of our civil society.
Just as civilizations rise by invention and fall by rigidity, so too do our collective environments flourish when expression, thought, and doctrine remain open to renewal or reassessment.
In that sense, the development of civilization is not accidental but essential: a rational, intelligent creation in which neologisms light the path forward.
After all, change is also the law of nature.
