It is often difficult to convey without using expletives, once the habit is formed. And sometimes it not friendly enough if we don’t use.

But thanks for this. Truly appreciate it.

Love the blog. When i was a kid, I too had the same problem of being surrounded by people who thought profanity was an accepted part of the English vocabulary. I had the opportunity of having read somewhere that the words that you speak show whats on your inside. It got my then conceited mind thinking and I thought I should probably fake being a good guy. (I was in the 7th Grade.. its excusable right?)

So, What I did not realize was that by not using profanity from that point onwards, it changed me on the inside even if I wanted to or not. All it takes is some commitment and resolve to stay clean mouthed. In my group, I am known as someone who does not cuss and I have noticed that since I and my friends hang out together a lot, their tendency to cuss goes down as well. Its just the first step in making them realize and recognize and see the light of God in our lives. They notice something different about you. I also learnt that someone who takes a stand at being different for the good reasons is the one who is respected and looked up at.

It changes our perspective on a lot of things. Cussing is like some slow poison that damages your mind and your thought processes. Stop Cussing and the first step in cleaning yourself up has started! Wish a lot more people would read your post! Thx for posting

Often people carry messages in manners like this or even immitate words/ cussings without thinking of the implications of the same.

In my parental home . we were not allowed to use vulgar language or gestures. It continues to shock me when people use the same. I only pray I will not become immuned.
