Words, good or bad?
Cervantes, the father of our modern language, used them in Don Quixote , with excellent application. If literature is the means by which words legitimize its use, what better excuse to say them?
There are peoples (or cultures) who are very badly spoken ... it is incredible the amount of bad words they are able to say in familiar and colloquial contexts. I could be fine"? Is there any logical explanation of why we say them?
Bad words, better health?
Let's talk about the benefits that saying bad words brings to our body.
Analgesic
The psychologist Richard Stephens, of the University of Keele (England), made a very interesting experiment : 67 university students had to keep their hands submerged in ice water as long as possible. Within a few seconds some could not stand, and therefore encouraged them to shout profanity.
The interesting thing is that the 67 students endured the freezing temperature even 40 seconds more when shouting bad words . And then they said they felt less pain .
One of his conclusions was that screaming, cursing, hurting yourself helps the pain go faster.
Greater self-esteem
It was another of the conclusions of the experiment: when we say obscenities, the brain forgets our weaknesses and improves self-confidence in a general sense.
It also helps us to have more control over our reactions.
More sociable
When we ventured with swear words we were relieved, and it shows. According to psychologists, people who say profanity tend to be more open, less repressed, and live their life in a much more relaxed, which makes them more successful in the social field.
They emphasize
Has it happened to you that the word that best describes what you feel at a certain moment is one that we can not write here?
Many times that same word helps to give weight to what we want to say.
Healthier
What phenomena occur in the body by saying profanities? Circulation accelerates, we release endorphins and we are filled with calm, wellbeing and control. Do you need more reasons?
Those who do not agree
Of course, we can not ignore the context in which they say: it is not the same to drop a cue for anything that when you hit your elbow or knee.
Those who advocate a better vocabulary, in general are right in something: the swear words or bad words often said and in any circumstance, in reality they replace others , they become a kind of cane from which it is very difficult to get rid .
When you do not get the right words, there are some, to say what we think, or describe a reality, and we use the rude words, they are not well used because the vocabulary, like a muscle that is not worked, atrophies the Do not expand it with more words or use a few that serve everything.
Forward when you hit, when you are pushed in the subway, when your boss arranges a meeting in your free time and does not pay you ... cursing will make you feel relief. Curse and follow. And then speak normally .
