The title of this piece may be confusing to some people, and even a little controversial. The idea of being irreverent often has a negative connotation attached to it, and it is not typically something that many people aspire to. However, I feel that this is something that should be reexamined and redefined.
The idea of irreverence is a new concept to me, and I love it — but not in the way that people may think. I came across an article that was published on LinkedIn, and it really got me thinking.
According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary, irreverence can be defined as
“???a lack of respect shown to somebody/something that other people usually respect.”
