“Could” is understood as something possible or, in other terms, denotes a small portion of your actions. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, it signifies ability, permission, possibility, suggestion, and more.
“Less” signifies something that is smaller than another in value, typically representing a negative value, moving away from the other. Its positive counterpart usually indicates a higher quantity compared to “less.” The symbol linked with “less” is often a negative or minus sign, implying a lesser likelihood. The term “less” serves to distinguish itself from its positive counterpart, establishing a contradiction between the two.
The aspects I think I could do less of are usually linked to activities requiring at least some contribution, such as projects or assisting others. When I’m involved in such contributions, particularly in a project, I can help by making adjustments and assisting in smaller, easily manageable tasks.
Similarly, in a normal life context, I have engaged in actions like reminding others to pray, particularly for Muslims who are required to pray daily. While I don’t do this frequently, I focus on helping with what is essential for both them and myself. This obligation is crucial for their success in this life and the afterlife for those who believe.
Additionally, I engage in various activities while collaborating in teams, such as aiding parents with smaller tasks when they request assistance. This allows me to support parents or others in need by providing valuable contributions, even if they are minor, which benefit others in the long run. Furthermore, this alleviates some of the burdens they carry as I offer help when required.
In summary, I can do less in various aspects, even if minor. Contributing to other endeavors shows my willingness to assist and collaborate, especially within a team. I have also taken on tasks that others in a similar team can manage.
