Educated scolds but never curses!

This is the topic dear to my heart, Vanaja!
Don't think I like to Rant.

According to my knowledge, only the EDUCATED MIND will not curse.

Education doesn't do anything with curse.
I can give an eg. in my own il-family.
I came to know all the curse-words from my mil. She is so fluent in that, whenever she wants to scold somebody--'accidentally' she cursesbonk
She is an educated women--'andha kaalathula college padiththaval'.
What say!
cursing is related to many aspects----one thinks that one is superior than the other and the other is useless compared to them, etc.

MIND is important and not the education. Just my My 2cents

I don't want to curse anybody for any reason--even from my childhood days:hiya

Hi Vanaja,

Again, I feel you sound like me. As srineketan mentioned, it is the educated mind and not the education. To site an example I would like to bring my in-laws in to this pic (I know it is boring!) my F-L has a good educational background but I feel he doesn’t have ' educated mind' as such. He is sharp tongued -curses often. Initially it gets on to my nervous, but later on, I think every curse of him is a blessing in disguise. His curses indeed act as a motivation to lead a better life!

Sometimes I wonder, people who curse like this will they realize that the 'curses', will hit them back again?

 

Hi,

I disagree. Education has nothing to do with the softness of mind and heart. Even educated people can get sinister and curse. I am guilty of the same offense. Most schools and colleges do not teach us how to handle our negative emotions properly.

Thanks,
Kavya.

 

vanaja, sriniketan, anushiv,

rightly said, curses will bounce back to us. not only words which come out of our mouth, even the thoughts, should be analysed......................
so we should always think before we speak............. when the anger arises on a person, immediately recall that person's picture in the mind and forgive him........ this is a very difficult task to do but when we practice it in our daily life, we will not become too emotional on anyone..................... this i practice it almost everyday................... yes of course i am an ordinary human being but the degree of anger is reduced in me............... with this practice.................
its only our mind, once we streamline our mind i think we can overcome this................

HI everyone,
do u people mean thinking/wishing bad happenings on others who have wronged us by the word 'curses'.?
I think people curse when they realise that they are defenceless against somebody.If some person wrongs u deliberately it is his choice of action..reaction to that wrong is ur choice.Besides,I always believe wharever gud or bad we do comes back to us..maybe not from the other person directly but in some other form..so why spoil our future..esp so when we know that cursing will not affect the wrong -doer one bit

 

You dont have to be educated not to curse ..

some people just curse ... maybe they have, as children, seen others do it and it has grown on them.

I think parents should play a role. never curse in front of their children, and if the child does it for some reason, stop him from doing it and explain to him that it is wrong .

Also to a large extent, I think as you mature , you stop doing 'silly things ' you may have done when you were younger .

( here I am talking from my own perspective )... Its many years since I have 'laid down' my entire self to Mother - good or bad - I leave it to Her to decide . In the process I have not had any jealousy, any ill feeling .. even towards those who have ruined my life.

So I think we create a calmer life for ourselves when we dont do such things
