Exclamation Tweaking Your Adjectives!

10-10-2019

“Once Upon A Time” when people were far less educated and the art of communication was limited to only what had to be said, the need for eloquence was not as critical as it is today!

“Three Cheers for Education and Enlightenment”, but alas, with the need and ability to express oneself clearly and concisely, has also come those who rely solely upon presence, position, titles, and wardrobe, to advance a point of view! And when these things are removed from the matrix, all that remains is usually a bag of hot and noxious gasses that are devoid of any clarity, objectivity, and even basic intellect, In My Opinion!

Granted, eloquence and a good command of “Our Native Tongue” are essential to our social intercourse! But when one substitutes position for intellect, or verbosity alone for something to really say, “who then is that party really fooling – “But Themselves?”

The whole point of language is to relate ideas, an opinion, or even a thought, and not an attempt to impress! And in this respect, people have gotten along quite nicely over the last several millennia! So when I see some stuffed shirt with a fairly decent education and a title, attempting to confound, bewilder or even impress, I can not help but wonder “How In the Hell” we have managed to develop, and to progress throughout the ages of our existence as a species?

Once again, education and social advancement” are indeed splendid things, but what do these people do when “We Have Heard It All Before?” And worse yet, how does anyone advance, when “Like Far Too Many Of Us These Days”, we are sometimes just too damned stubborn, busy or even narrow-minded, to fully consider all of the other alternatives - “And All Of The Other Possibilities?”
