Homonym: Limbo (State)
Limbo is a concept in various religious and philosophical traditions, often associated with the afterlife. In Christian theology, it refers to a state where souls who have not committed sins but are not baptized reside. This includes unbaptized infants and virtuous individuals who lived before the coming of Christ. Limbo is not considered a place of punishment but rather a state of natural happiness.
In popular culture, the term "limbo" can also describe a state of uncertainty or waiting. For example, people might say they are in limbo when they are awaiting important news or decisions. This usage reflects a feeling of being stuck between two states, much like the theological concept.
