Can we talk? For real? Without using language that offends the sensibilities of most civilized human beings?
I
am so sick and tired of reading "sample" books with so much profanity
that I would certainly never purchase the book. Every other line is
laced with an "f" or "mf" or such base language describing bodily
functions that I'm embarrassed for the author. I mean really, why do
some have to write such garbage? Is this the only language most people
can relate to? If it is, I'm certainly on the wrong planet.
Now,
here's the kicker! Most of the books I'm referencing are obviously not
written by true believers in The Word. If they were, they would be too
intimidated to write what they write. But it is these same people who
would criticize most Christians for their belief and faith in God! Who
knew? Wow! What a revelation! Most people (not all) who have a
relationship with God respect the relationship with Him and other
people; those who don't, don't.
But this can all change. Can we
please elevate the thinking, speaking, and writing for all to enjoy? Is
that so hard to do? It is up to those of us who write--fiction,
non-fiction, poetry, song lyrics, etc. to raise the standards of using
appropriate language. If we change what we do; society will change what
it does. Try it and see!
