It is not as if we should speak in the most polite possible way to every person we meet. Some people cannot stand to hear polite language and may even criticize us because of it. They hear someone speaking clearly and accuse that person of being 'affected'. In such cases we might need to lower the grade of politeness of the language we use to make our language more direct, to shock the person into awareness. However, the rest of the four components of good speech must remain intact. The following sort of people might need to hear direct speech:
1. Those who have a superiority complex or like to pretend that everyone is equal.
2. Those whose mind is blinded to the virtues of the speaker by their lack of faith for that person.
3. Those who are in the midst of depression.
