40、ge“. Abstract words are of course very convenient. If I say of a person, “She has great beauty“, it is easier and quicker than if I say, “Her hair is thick, silky and flowing; her cheek-bones high and strong; her eyes nut-shaped, quick and vivacious; her figure slim and moulded in light,. firm curve
41、s; the contemplation of all of which excites and delights me.“ Howcvcr, the danger lies in the fact that the word “beauty“ nccd not always mean exactly this - different people use it to mean rather different things - and when using it we may think we are communicating what is in our mind to somebody
42、 else, when in fact we are not doing so at all. The person we are speaking to may be a lover of flowers, and for him the word “beauty“ may suggest not feminine characteristics, but the purple glow of violets, or some other kind of flowers. He may never have noticed closely the look of a womans face;
43、 so that when we think he is seeing vividly what we see in our minds eyc as we say “beauty“, he may in fact be trying to connect up his idea of beautiful flowers with the idea of a woman, and not getting any clear impression at all.Similar sorts of danger arise with the word “crime“. Nowadays the wo
44、rd “crime“ generally refers to any of a certain number of acts that are forbidden by law. Anyone who commits such an act is, strictly speaking, a “criminal“. In the public mind the word “crime“ is associated mainly, however, with serious offences such as armed robbery andmurder; and the common idea
45、of the “criminal“ is of a dangerous kind of man very different from the rest of us. However, a girl of seventeen who, in a moment of temptation, takes something off a shop shelf is also, strictly, speaking, a criminal. This does not mean that we ought to feel the same things about her that we might
46、feel about a man who had been knocking people on the head and stealing their money for years. But a malicious man may, not inaccurately, speak of such a young offender as a “criminal“, and make people more hostile than they should be towards the unfortunate girl, simply because the word “criminal“ f
47、ills them with distrust and fear. Here, once again, we see how an abstract word can make a misleading impression.If “beauty“ is an aesthetic abstraction, and “crime“ a legal abstraction, “average“ is a statistical abstraction. Let us suppose that half of the population of the town consists Of people about 185 cm tall, and the other half of people about 160 em tall. The average height of the people in that town will be 173 cm. But a person simply reading that figure may get a totally fa
