  Do you not understand what the word arbitrary means?…

  Is there a way to distinguish between arbitrary and non-arbitrary? Or is literally everything ever arbitrary?

    literally every definition ever is arbitrary

      Then what’s the point of even calling it arbitrary? If it covers everything, then there’s no reason for the word.

        that’s not true. there are things that are not definitions. like my bed for instance, there are aspects that are arbitrary (my personal preferences, design choices, etc) and aspects that are not arbitrary (its physical form that exists beyond definition)
