Your Words are Your Thoughts
My business partner caught me swearing something that is very inappropriate. It is a very cruel swearing that direct towards the family of an individual. She told me that the person has not done anything to deserve that kind of swearing. In my defence, I did not swear at the person but merely making a remark.
No. It is not an excuse and not a reason to say such horrible things.
She is right. My words are my thoughts. It reflect what goes in my mind. With such terrible thoughts, how things would go well for me? I may not act out my thoughts, but such thoughts cloud and affect my world view.
Sometimes a curse may be harmless, but it reflects how you see and interact with your environment. This is a hard lesson that I have to learn.
