Right OR Wrong To share a Quote? Answered

We had a good discussion about sharing quotes on Facebook. Below, I have tried to summarise the discussion (click here to read through the discussion).

The discussion started when a quote was published on facebook, trying to understand if the quote was well understood before it was posted by the poster. Later on, It was told that sharing someone's quote is not a right things to do. After a long discussion on "Is it right or Wrong?" we have found that

Without understanding the very meaning of the quote sharing a quote on facebook is not right. One must understand and make sure he shares his personal understanding of the quote OR his intention of quoting along with the quote.

Many a times, it might also be possible that after understanding the concept, we might as well want to simplify it, understandable to common man. This way, we are ensuring that the thoughts of the reader are in-line with the thoughts of ourselves when the quote is read.

Quoting on facebook status, is it right? OR is it wrong?

People share a lot of things via facebook status message. Many people also share certain statemens which were told once by well know philosophers, scientists, celebraties and so on. Some of them share their personal problems direclty some of them indirectly. Some simply post for fun, some with a real intension. Whatever, might be the intension, is it right to quote someone on a forum like facebook? was the question raised.

There were two answers to the question which led to a healthy argument.
1. No, it is not fine to quote.
2. Yes, it is fine to quote.

Arguments supporting "No, It is not fine to quote":

Without understanding the inner meaning of the statement quoted, if someone quotes it, the statement will loose its value. One must not quote, rather must introspect and practice before they say anything. So, if you really want to live a meaningful life "DO NOT FOLLOW", because you have not gone through what they have gone through. First you experience, do something in life then people would listen.

Argument supporting "Yes, It is fine to quote":

Accepting the argument of "understanding the quote before posting", yet rejecting that the statement will loose its value based on ignorant posting. The arguers supports this rejection by considering the person who de-value the statement based on the ignorant's posting as "not open". The argument further continues by noting the difference between "gifted" and "not gifted"

To someone who is gifted with observational capabilities and intelligence that are enough to formulate his/her own path and purpose of life; "DO NOT FOLLOW" does make sense. But on the other hand, for common man who is not gifted with these qualities for unknown reason, will need a supporting wall to stand up and learn walking, OR they will need a teacher to teach them. So, for a common man "DO FOLLOW INITIALLY" should be the formula.
