WELL THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT.
I don't swear because I lack other, larger, more sophisticated and grandma-friendly words.
I swear because it gets out the fucking PASSION I need to convey. If I eat a steak that's perfectly cooked and juicy and does magic things to my taste buds-
-oh wait wrong one sorry-
-that's better.
If I consume this, I'm not gonna sit back and say "That steak was excellent."
I'm going to say "That steak was the best goddamn steak I've ever fucking had."
See the difference?
Now if small children were nearby, I'd probably go with "excellent".
Maybe it's not a question of the variety of choices you have, but your ability to choose the most appropriate one. Just like it's not about how much money you have, but about how you spend it.
Or, it doesn't matter what genes you have, because everyone has freewill to be who they want to be. (within reason of course.)
Also, who's to say whether you chose to say "fucking" over "excellent" or simply didn't know the word "excellent"? Who's to say that just because you spend money like the American teenage boy eats fast food-
mcdonald's chicken mcnuggets- %50 chicken, %50 nugget. |
-that you actually have the money you're spending? And just because someone gets to the grocery store, how could someone ever know what a person with crippling anxiety had to go through to get there?
Point is, there are so many possible reasons behind a simple decision.
My favorite song's chorus says- OHWAITI'LLGETITFORYOU---

--it says "Rest in my arms, sleep in my bed, there's a design to what I did and said." Over and over and over- but not in a creepy, hypnotic way. It's a lullaby. (Also this Sufjan guy is a gay, Christian, musical genius. What is more holy than that?)
Anyway, this single statement speaks volumes about the concept of love and trust- how they're inseparable and how they can't really function well without each other. He's saying, "Trust me- my heart is in the right place. Trust me- I love you."
And as simple as these words are, as simple as the act of resting and sleeping may be, the Human Condition makes this concept incredibly difficult to grasp and embrace. This is what I want my girlfriend to understand. What she needs in order for things to work out.
What I'm trying to get at is that we judge very easily. But we're quicker to label things like liars and cheaters and jerks and faggots and retards than we are to label people as Trustworthy and Good.
Let's work on slaying the dragons inside of ourselves that prevent us from loving each other, shall we?
