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.
