When you write, you think about your audience as to how they would understand
each word or term you would include, how they can relate unto you and to those words,
how they can be brought to the same level or place where you are in. That’s how you
think of the time to use expanded definition – another way to connect well with the
audience or readers, a way to make yourself be understood, a way to fill the void from
the bewildered audience, a way to intervene and heal their wounded minds stricken by
your sharpest words.
