Adjectives are bad. Adjectives describe a noun. In my opinion, they pass judgments - often biased, incorrect and incomplete.
Now you'd say that I just passed a judgment by calling adjectives bad. But I have a reason. Adjectives are bad - because along with describing nouns, they separate them. There are 'men' - but they get separated into 'good-looking men' and 'ugly men'. There are 'useful' and 'useless' things, 'intelligent' and 'dumb' students. Adjectives describe a noun - and estrange it from another. Adjectives are like the way students are classified - the ones with an A, a B and a C.
But yes, in a way, adjectives possess power. And that the power can be used or abused.
Adjectives may be bad. But as a matter of fact, they cannot be done away with - for 'bad' is an adjective too!

are the words anytime bad? or the interpretatioins we give to words are wrong?
ReplyDeleteAdjectives,I think, are quite essential to put forward one's view-point and thus they personify the people who use them.These epithets are not bad by themselves but can bring out the good or bad in the user!
