How to use "Supererogatory" in context?
If there is one word that best describes what arguably makes someone extraordinary, it's supererogatory. To most, it may come across as a superfluous word or even redundant, but to those who understand its meaning, it is the preface to all extraordinary greatness. From Aristotle to Buddha, supererogatory deeds have been cited as the impetus for radical change, whether it be philosophical, moral, or even physical.
Supremely good is an ethereal quality that is nearly impossible to attain, but is the hallmark of those who truly stand out in society.
