I find language to be incredibly interesting.
Words have incredible power. Each individual word we use has an energy of its own.
There are so many fabulous and precise words you can use to describe with, and there are some not so fabulous ones….
“Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself forcibly” – Spencer W. Kimball
Speaking of a powerful way to use words to get a point across…. this quote nails it perfectly.
A friend of mine repeated this quote to me one day after a few too many F-bombs had come flying off my tongue. It was very well played. It changed me and opened my eyes.
I’m not sure anyone wants to have a feeble mind. For sure I don’t want to, but feeble I was at that moment.
When you listen to someone who is using all sorts of profane words to express themselves, you begin to wonder why they don’t change it up. Not only is the repetition hard to listen to, but the harshness of the words take away from their message.
Profanity has become a colourless shortcut.
Let’s start using brilliant and beautiful words for expression instead. Conversations would be so much more interesting then, don’t you think?
