BEYOND THE SURFACE
This is for the listener; this is for the reader.
Do not consider sayings or writings on surface levels - especially short ones, quotes and the likes.
Go an extra mile to seek, find and situate them in the right context intended by the speaker or writer; otherwise, you may never derive the actual message(s) they seek to pass across.
Contextual interpretation is key!
Read beyond just a few lines; listen beyond just a few sentences.
If you interpret a short quote (even a long one) without situating it in the right context, it looses it's essence, and the aim of the writer's communication is defeated.
Today, platforms abound, hence, many people say or write many things....
