When a person holds a responsible, high position, he should weigh his words very carefully. Once spoken, they cannot be retrieved. Much damage can be done due to misunderstanding and misinterpretation. It can also destroy the credibility of the speaker. Dignity is expected, and respect one commands; thoughtful consideration is paramount in our utterances. Persons in high office cannot act like clowns or comedians to generate laughter by using cheap vocabulary. Such jibes might produce peals of laughter or thunderous sounds of claps and applause. Appeasement to basic instincts has limited value.
Criticism must be carefully articulated to avoid personal attacks or maliciously lower image in the public eye. Those in high office must realise the futility of derogatory, demeaning, subtle remarks to evoke sympathy or win applause and strike at character assassination. Such cheap gimmicks and mean behaviour show the opponents in a bad light in order to crush dissent and opposition. The disparaging utterances, caustic remarks seen towards opponents are speculations of unfairness.
Those in power, position assume their role as not negotiable or discriminatory. How best to defeat the process of winning is not easy to decipher the process. Jokes or encounters are no substitutes for reasonable accommodation for healthy adjustment, rather than adopt blind positions to enhance pivotal positions in the face of reality. Powerful speakers do not entertain but enlighten, educate.
