Words Of Choice


It’s strange that with the daily use of words we are failing to express what we really mean, then suddenly the same word ais expressing a feeling with all its different magnitude, for example a person could be happy, but what kind of happiness? Is he happy or shining, smiley or ecstatic?? Yes, they all express happiness but to what degree? The feeling gets lost with the bad choice of the describing word.

This brings me to a similar point, which is what a word really means, we know how the word would sound, how it will affect them, but the word itself, the basic concept, what does it mean, the one used to describe something or someone, the meaning and definition of the word, have you tried to define, 'happy', or 'sad', and how about 'absolute' or 'gain'? Though they seem to be very simple words and of daily use, we can easily fail to describe when exactly they are used, now imagine the other words that don't use often, so we replace them with others that don't explain what is intended, leading to failing the unused word, and the meaning desired from it.
