ideologies?

It's amusing how words just start making sense. There are words that I accept exist because people keep using them, or because they make up sentences in my school textbooks. And they acquired their meanings just recently. Like ideology. It has always been around...and somehow people seem to adore it...using it grants you a higher position. I have only started putting down words under the term, and that's when the word acquires its meaning. There are things that I have always disapproved of; now they are part of the term. I have ideologies. Wow.
