A note on these definitions:

I recognize that I cannot know what’s true for another person.

I don’t claim that these are THE definitions of these terms. They’re just my definitions.

I didn’t consult a dictionary, I just watch what happens to my world when I think of things this way.

And I find that when I use these definitions, my world becomes kinder, safer, more peaceful.

I share these definitions with you not to convince you that they’re absolutely correct but just so you’ll know what I mean when I use them.
