This blog is going to be a series of GRE vocabulary words that i am trying to learn. Each post I will put a word, maybe some definitions and then attempt to use it in a sentence(s). I would really appreciate any comments and especially corrections.

I am a human animal. My brain has wired itself to desire understanding. It believes by searching for understanding it will find it's place in the world and have atleast some certainty that it is living the best possible life.
