The masses tend to panic in such situations.
Like many who have suggested the same, I believe one of the reasons Q woke us up is so that we can help people around us understand and cope with what is going on when things get a little scary. There will be people who are jolted awake from a deep sleep and have no idea what is going on.
Maybe your sister is in a panic because the military is quelling riots in the streets and politicians are being hauled off screaming into helicopters. Or maybe widespread power and communications outages have brought a worried neighbor to your door. Or that close friend (who respects you too much to call you crazy but insists on staying asleep) is finally waking up and searching for answers because it looks like the world is ending.
What will you say to start them down the long road to awakening? How will you reassure them that things will be ok, and prepare them for what is next? There is so much that could be said, it is difficult to summarize.
Maybe something like the following?
We are about to begin a years-long period of human history defined by the ongoing exposure and destruction of the greatest evil the world has ever known. A plan was devised decades ago which has culminated in the events unfolding before us. Many good people have sacrificed much and suffered greatly in order for this plan to work. In chess terms, the enemy has been in ‘check’ for several years. Covid - and everything since - has been caused by the enemy in their death throes. They cannot win, and will likely attempt to flip over the table before accepting defeat. But the good people are prepared. They have planned for all contingencies. Hang on because it may get rocky - but do not fear. GOD WINS.
I try not to cuss, only belittle. A sin no less but a different one.
Ok.. Cussing is usually used when logical discussion breaks down. It is also used to disrespect and insult the other party. Without referring to religion both methods would be disrespectful. My religious conviction does not rely on the doctrines taught in each religion. I try to make logical assumptions based on being as read as I can and hopefully each individual makes the right choice to do the same. So many have been lying to the masses about everything for thousands of years it's very hard to sift through it all. The only difference is that the lies have become very convincing and complex. Hopefully we all have a happy life and get through it all because of all of us being misled including me. I certainly don't have concrete answers. (Lets go Brandon (insult))
I have always respected people that know the exact proper time to use a cuss word. It makes them a more relatable leader, it shows their human. A perfectly placed "fuck" is a great sentence enhancer.
.....have some dip, fucken!
In my case swearing is the manifestation of frustration. Period.
I hear you
So you commit the worse "sin" then? Belittling people is belittling people, no two ways about it. On the other hand, there are a million different ways to swear that aren't "used to disrespect and insult the other party" or in a scenario where "logical discussion breaks down". Both those things, however, are a given when belittling people.
Good lord people. I have told dirty jokes and cussed. I just don't use it in meaningful conversation and not against old people and children. Lighten up folks its a personal choice just like you have yours.
LOL
