series of essays and thoughts, rantings and ravings for the modern world by a country girl in abu dhabi by Alfie N.H. (author of Strangers, Conversations & Thoughts, series of essays and poems by The Idle Bard)
There is something about swearing that makes me proud when I do it. Its like I take pride when I swear. Weird. I wonder why. But after the ego has settled down I feel guilty and awful and ashamed of myself for swearing. Either I need to swear more or not at all. We shall see. Damn it.

A hopeless romantic gone stale, a cynic and a skeptic most often yet gullible sometimes. I cry easily and my heart heaves when I read something intense, like the 4 brothers who are all working as soldiers in Iraq. Must be because I have asthma. I have a book pending to be published. Awaiting for a good editor who would not think I wrote the book for him. I wanted to be a lawyer but had some detours on the road so I will have to see if I will finish that goal. I like dining with everything in place and matching each silverware and china. I love chocolates and I recently had an affair with someone special named BV. It will be a long one. Something about me... seeks to conform what needs to be confirmed... an afterthought of what was supposedly a wonderful dream.. a longing yet to be desired... a goal yet to be achieved.. in the land of confusion and mixed aboriginalities i am a gentle mortal soul, seeking peace in this hectic arena of life... i am an idle bard....

So, what's wrong with swearing?
Swearing Imposes a Personal Penalty
It gives a bad impression
It makes you unpleasant to be with
It endangers your relationships
It's a tool for whiners and complainers
It reduces respect people have for you
It shows you lack control
It's a sign of a bad attitude
It discloses a lack of character
It's immature
It reflects ignorance
It sets a bad example
Swearing is Bad for Society
It contributes to the decline of civility
It represents the dumbing down of Modern society
It offends more people than you think
It makes others uncomfortable
It is disrespectful of others
It turns discussions into arguments
It can be a sign of hostility
It can lead to violence
Swearing corrupts the English language
It's abrasive, lazy language
It doesn't communicate clearly
It neglects more meaningful words
It lacks imagination
It is losing lost its effectiveness
I have the similar condition when I swear it gratifies my need to emphasise my temper at the specific time I swear. But as with all words spoken, once they are out there...we can't take them back. Language and the way we choose to use it is a gift or a, and excuse the pun, a curse. I found a site that takes a practical stance on "swearing." It might help me to tame my tongue, and hopefully through practice and self control, I can enrich the way in which I communicate to the people in my world around me. After all, the saying does go "You can learn alot about the person by what they have to say."
