profanity

I can still recall how the 'good girls' back in my highschool days swore to not swear.
What I'm trying to say is that they will refrain from mouthing profanities as much as they can to the extent of replacing the swear word with a noun.
In my opinion, isn't it all the same?
If you are not able to say it out loud, the voice in your mind would have said it anyway.
Truth is, that voice in your head is louder than anything else in the world.

What is exactly the point of stopping yourself from saying what you really wanted to say?
Just to portray a good image?
It is after all just another word.
If you replace the word 'fuck' with let's say 'fish', doesn't that make the word 'fish' a swear word now?
My point is, cursing doesn't mean you're a bad person.
It is just a way of expressing your anger and frustration rather than keeping it all in and bursting at an intense level.

Of course, we should know when and where to curse as it is still considerably unpleasant and immoral  to be done publicly.


Censorship feeds the dirty mind more than the four-letter word itself.

Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
