anthropocentric

An idea based around human thinking.
If a forest was to be cut down to build housing for humans, this would see seen as an anthropocentric idea as it only suits and is a benefit to humans. No consideration therefore is taken for animals or current exsisting wildlife in the area.

Anthrob

The action of who you are and what you really want throbbing inside you. The force varies in intensity from person to person. The strongest pulse is found in artists and explorers. More than a little voice in your head, its a rhythmic way of being that usually has to fight its way from deep within into one's surface reality.
My life was stable and predictable. I tried to play it safe but I was anthrobbing so hard I had to quit my job and leave my boyfriend. I bought a one way ticket to Brazil and I intend to find myself again while having lots of passionate sex with gorgeous men in breathtaking places.
