![]() ![]() ![]() Once I got out of “group think” mode, and slowly made my way to the full-fledged sailor I am today, I began to wonder what exactly is so bad about cursing? What is it about THOSE words that make them bad? Which got me thinking… What’s so bad about these taboo words? Yelling “SHOOT!” when you stub your toe on the corner of your bed and feel like you just broke it, –or “FUDGE!” when you’ve just lost an entire college paper when the deadline is tomorrow, or “GOSH DARNIT!” when someone cuts you off & your knee jerk reaction to protect yourself almost ends up in a wreck ––it just doesn’t cut it. ![]() In that kind of environment, you learn a different level of manners than you might in other regions outside the “Bible Belt” as rightly referred to in the US, like:Īlways say Yes, Ma’am/Sir and No, Ma’am/Sir, I grew up in a small, very conservative town in south Georgia where the politics are mostly red and there’s a church on most corners (literally over 100 in that 1 county/parish). This has been on my heart & mind for a while now, but like you probably are, I’ve kinda been avoiding it …until I was “ready.” Whatever that means.īut it’s time now, –and no I’m not ready. This is a hard topic to talk about, right? Because honestly, the answer is different for everyone. ![]()
