A Rise of Stress Relief

A man is sitting, alone in a room, seething with rage at the world for the things he wants and doesn't have, then he suddenly begins to swear, begins as a whisper and turns into a yell, until suddenly the man stops and looks around, he begins to laugh, and forgets his worries because he realizes that they aren't as bad as he thinks and that he just needed to get some relief. As society grows more and more progressively, more and more things will begin to infuriate us, because as a society, we are impatient and want things immediately. Maybe it is a new car, maybe it is a new job, inevitably something will make someone angry, and that is why we have swearing. Swearing is in place as a vocal stress relief, when someone is angry someone is dangerous, but when someone is swearing suddenly all their worries are a little less substantial until they suddenly dissolve in the wake of said person's realization. Society is not in a downfall of morals simply because a few new words are set in place to help relieve stress. When something is lost people get angry because they lost something that was theirs, or because it was taken, and that is why they swear, because when they relieve that experience they are still angry but suddenly it isn't as bad when you can vocalize your anger towards it. If you lose a family member or someone close to you, crying is not always the answer, if you swear all that anger melts away, and when anger leaves so to does the depression that begins to form because you can't let out your anger. If someone is "getting in your face" and won't leave you alone these people aren't always mentally prepared for a quick and witty rebuttal followed by a few swears, easily sending them staggering giving you a chance to end the matter there by simply walking away or getting to the root of the problem, something that couldn't have happened if the aggressor hadn't been calmed down. And so, unto everyone who swears for their own reasons, remember, it is not because people's morals are declining, or because people simply want an excuse to get angry, it is because people need a way to relieve stress, people need a way to vocalize their sadness and anger over something, people need something to defend themselves against the mentally inferior but physically superior.

The Fall of Morals

2 men, sitting in a room, alone, there is no window just a door and 2 men, sitting their waiting, suddenly one man begins to talk, and talk, and talk, when suddenly the other begins to spew hatred in a concentrated dosage of anger towards the annoying man, and then it boils over as they both explode with profanity and they begin to fight. Curse words, foul language, cussing, all of these things are the same and cause the same thing, a decline in the morals of society. As one man swears at another neither gets calmer they only get angrier, as one man continues the other starts until it ends in a fight of words instead of fists. When someone uses foul language to let of some steam so they can calm down, the anger is transferred to the target until finally it explodes within someone and morals are thrown out the window. Suddenly, swearing has become an excuse to get angry at people, because if you can set someone off with words than suddenly it isn't your fault, suddenly the person who threw the first punch is the person who is the one to blame because they can't "Keep their cool" or," stay level-headed". In modern society people no longer have morals opposed to fighting because suddenly they can swear, people no longer have morals opposed to getting angry because suddenly they can just attack someone with words instead of their fists, people forgo their morals and swear so they have an excuse to "get under someone's skin" so they know the satisfaction of bothering someone who isn't the same or holds different beliefs. Society has not lost its morals because swearing is present, society has lost its morals because with swearing it is far too easy to throw away what is important, because swearing is an excuse, because swearing is an addiction and once you do it once and it feels good to make someone else feel terrible you don't want to stop because as long as someone else feels bad at least you aren't, a principle far to many people follow.
