Imzadi - Broader Meaning of The Word

Broader Meaning of The Word

Since its inception in Star Trek: The Next Generation and development by Peter David, the word Imzadi has come to mean much more than its bare definition.

The fantasy word Imzadi (pronounced Em'zæ'dæ), a Betazed word most closely translated "the first," refers not necessarily to the first sexual partner but to "the first to ever touch you deeply, mentally and emotionally."

It signifies an emotional intimacy that flows from deep heartwarming affection, an affection so strong it flows from the innermost depths of the heart like an invisible fluid out of the body through the windows* of your soul and into the welcoming windows* of your 'Dear One', in essence a mutually spiritual experience of seeing, touching and melding emotionally to become one in heart, mind and mutually beneficial life objectives.

* Here "windows" refer to the eyes.

Famous quotes containing the words the word, broader, meaning and/or word:

    Please stop using the word “Negro.”... We are the only human beings in the world with fifty-seven variety of complexions who are classed together as a single racial unit. Therefore, we are really truly colored people, and that is the only name in the English language which accurately describes us.
    Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)

    I can’t say that the college-bred woman is the most contented woman. The broader her mind the more she understands the unequal conditions between men and women, the more she chafes under a government that tolerates it.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    God ... created a number of possibilities in case some of his prototypes failed—that is the meaning of evolution.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.
    Dorothy Day (1897–1980)
