I remember that time when I tasted my Mom's hand on my mouth because of a slip of the tongue. I also received a long-time nagging that I promised to never let a single word of curse out in my mouth again after that day. Although I still failed on that one, if ever I swore because of my emotions, all I did was punish myself by slapping my own mouth. And that actually became a habit only after I graduated from College.
Facing problems every day of my life, I can compare swearing to a toy that gives satisfaction to a person. It is like when I let that word out of my mouth, I feel better, okay, and refreshed. But I'm not saying that it is a good thing, of course not. No matter from which angle you look at it, swearing is never a good thing. It's just up to a person if they will swear, and they are responsible for it because it came from their mouth, just like I am responsible for every bad word I have spit out and am still spitting out.
Swearing
Where do you stand on swearing? Is there a time and place for it, or do you think it should never be done? Discuss in 300+ words and use photos you took yourself where you can
I am guilty of swearing in front of everyone except a kid. Even I know that doing that will also affect how the kid grows without knowing the real meaning of those swear words. If only swearing were not a stress reliever for me, I would say that it should never be done. But I will be hypocritical if I say that, because I know how it feels to swear, especially when you are mad.
With that said, I just do that in the right place, without kids in sight or even a baby. If there's a kid in front of me and I really want to swear, I will just do it inside my head, that's also effective. But saying it louder is so much better. But let's be discreet and do it when there's no child in your surroundings. I want to say that I never swear with a person as a subject, but I also do that. I am very guilty of that.
Why not if the subject of your swearing was a bad person who did bad things to you? But YES, it is never okay, and I always make sure that I will never say it directly to anyone. Even if swearing at them feels so much better if I say it louder, doing it in my head is still the right thing to do, especially since I can do that a million times. Well, this is only because I am mad with that person.
And, you know, I also have friends with whom swearing or cursing is just a normal thing. They are close friends and family, so they are already used to my mouth, and so am I to them. So no one will take it seriously, and no one will get mad because that's just what we are as friends. We just have to be careful that the kids don't hear it. Even my parents use those swear words too, they are not perfect, yes, and they know that it is also a bad habit.
But even if they are like that, that doesn't mean they are already bad people, they just used vulgar words as an expression, but they are not bad people, that's just how we express ourselves. We swear without bad intention, and even if we did with our close friends, it was only meant as a joke.
