You're right, a generalization, but one that was made as a compensatory move to
a general tendency to over-intellectualize (and thus disempower) words that
contain a lot more of real practical value in them. Too much abstract thinking
clouds the real value of the work. I guarantee you Juenger
Gleichfalls. Eigentlich sollen wir Deutsch reden, Übung könnte mir nur helfen!
But I also think it is a good thing to bring English in, since Jünger is far

(But as I said earlier, I do admit to generalizing a little in order to correct

his wife Evita, in case you are a Peronist.
