Force.................

what is the definition of force?

No no... i am not a standard 3 student who is sitting in natural science class!! the thought just cross me every time i hear "i never forced u"or "plz dun force"........ i was amazed coz when i was really a std. 3 student i was taught the universal definition of force as "an influence on a body or system, producing or tending to produce a change in movement or in shape or other effects" simplified to F=m.a . This is a newton's definition of force.............. can all forces be simplified to mass and acceleration??

being a dictionary fiend (p.s. do not read it as a devil) i thought why not refer this amazing source which is not hidebound to the scientific concept of force. As i leafed through the pages the notion of FORCE forced me to cogitate as the very first definition was a long way off my imaginative capacities it says "physical power or strength possessed by a living being". This doesn't look baffling to the normal majority, but since i can not forget that i lost the first position in physics in my 7th grade by confusing power for force, my adamant encephalon refuse to accept this definition!!! force is not power.

I came down to the next literal explanation which was "strength or power exerted upon an object; physical coercion; violence" then came the third "strength; energy; power; intensity". I kept on refusing because I've grown up learning force is not power. My close friends told me not be so logical while dealing with aesthetics of language..............

(for my those friends i tried again)

mental or moral strength, persuasive power; power to convince, urge.......... now with all logics apart this is now certainly formulating a logic (read lingual logic) i.e. if i posses mental strength and power to convince i am forceful. But wait!!!!! forceful is used in a negative connotation, surely, YES it is. People are accused of being forceful even if they are urging ammm....

I am stranded in the sea of words and meanings and in the mist of inferences. It is the predicament that ravels the bewildered cerebrations, invigorates the moral strengths and revitalizes the force to evolve. Evolution (keeping my self away from science) of thought process helped to conclude that a word can have scores of shades having subtle differences and no one can be forced to use the FORCE in a definite way. So even when FORCE remains same we come across its nuances as we come across variety of people.
