Not the most optimistic of post titles.
I have little to say except that I recently discovered that I had erroneously believed that perseverate meant to vacillate or waver. Now, this was a belief I held even though I knew it went against my own common sense. I mean, perseverate. It's definitely related to persevere. Anyway, perseverate means to continue on with a behavior without any rational reason. It's most often used in psychology. Well, I perseverated in my false belief that perseverate meant to go back and forth. Why? I have no idea.
But then the truth came, and I had to accept the error of my ways.
