and canna, you're absolutely right. words are words are words. its people who give them their power, and idiotic and insecure people who give power to the wrong words. can you imagine if the world held such a high reverance for intelligent speaking, but in a positive way? like if people stared and admired well-spoken people the same way that "foul-mouthed" individuals get negative attention...?

my feelings have always been that no one can make you feel any way. anyone can say anything to you, but you make the choice if it affects you. in the moment, i'll admit, sometimes this is hard to agree with. but stepping back and viewing the big picture is a huge strength, one that many people don't possess.

dunno, just rambling...

stay safe everybody

pretty much my sentiments exaclty!

we chose to give words meaning and also chose which words are "swear" words or "cuss" words. and by me, i mean society. we as a society generally dictate what is acceptable and what is not.

like golden said, words are just that. you can get by in life with a minimum vocabulary. but why not own what you say, or say exactly what you mean. to me words portray different levels of emotion, or a different shade of color if you will.

no matter what words are said, it's a choice to get offended. words have no power if we don't give them power. we just have to be more particular and less emotional with the words we choose to put stock into.

just a little food for thought ( i like to think, believe it or not). why do black people get mad when a white person uses the N-bomb? i mean think about it. it was first used by white people to put down an entire race. that race took the word and used it as a sign of family or respect. now the race that created it uses it to the race they made the original derogatory comments towards to mean the same family and respect. to me that is poetic justice.

i don't know. maybe i'm just weird.


don't be spoon fed!
