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.
