IF I MAY ANALYSETHIS QUOTATION. IT IS A GREATB QUOTATION AS IT SIMPLY, ACCORDING TO MY UNDERSTANDING OF IT, MEANS THAT WE SHOULD USE WORDS EAILSY UNDERSTOOD TO ACHIVE WHAT IS NOT UNDERSTOOD. LET ME ELABORATE ON THAT.
WE OFTEN USE COMMON WORDS SO THAT WE CAN RELATE EASILY TO PEOPLE, BY ENGAGING THEM IN OUR CONVERSATIONS AND USING WORDS THAT ARE EASY FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND. WHATTHIS QUOTATION IS STATING IS THAT WE MUST, THUS, USE THESE COMMON WORDS TO ACHIEVE WHAT IS RARE AND SCARCE . WE MUST NOT GREET TO APPEAR POLITE OR KIND AND HUMANE, BUT WE MUST GREET TO ENHANCE AND SHOW SOLIDARITY TO OUR FELLOW SOCIETY MEMBERS, AS AN EXAMPLE.
This is a great quotation; however one that society forgets to exercise. I fell the reason for this is that people want to sound educated an intelligent, falling to understand, that does not come from how big or new the words we use are but buy being able to simplify what one finds difficult to understand.
