"intersection"

Walking is great for meditation - every step filled with thought, questions & curiosity. Things come to mind, for example, word choice: How or why has the word “intersection” entered the discourse in every day speech and/or discussion? Have we entered a phase of being unwilling to come to the point of the matter? Have we hit a void? It’s a good word, descriptive noun and all that. However, are we that complicated or do we like to think of ourselves that way?
