Using Superlatives

i think people should really...be more modest and thoughtful when using superlatives. in fact, i don't even understand why people like to throw them all the time everywhere as if they're nothing. saying something is the best, the most this and that, the least this and that, etc...it only ever always make me roll my eyes...

oh...so you must know sooooooooooo much...no scratch that....you must know EVERYTHING aka...'the rest'...to know what's 'the best' huh...

Unless you actually can testify to actually know all you're comparing with what you use superlatives on....i suggest, cut down on that arrogant term...is it so hard to just use 'good' or 'to me...' or 'i like...' 'my favourite'...etc. ...cut down on that arrogant know-it-all attitude if you don't for sure know it all...and just based on assumptions or your own what little personal experience...grow some humility in acknowledging there are so many things in this world, you don't know, rather than what little you know...regardless of who you are or how high your education/social rank or whatever level is...

and because one of my random poems created awhile ago so fitting this subject...i'll throw it in here...please don't steal n claim it as your own, thanks.


The Best is obnoxious
The Best is pretentious
The Best is delirious
The Best is hilarious

How can you tell The Best,
When you don't know the rest?
How can you claim The Best,
When your view's as wide as the bird's nest?

In The Best, I find arrogance
For The Best, you have no evidence
Thus The Best, has no relevance
Merely a pride-coated preference
Of peasants who have no deference for difference
A testament to the absence of intelligence.
