Thanks to my background and to my dad, I've got a whole lot of morals that I live by and they have made my life the best I could pray for. I don't need the riches of the world to keep by them, I know what good can come out of keeping them and so I don't joke with these morals.
While there are a lot of morals I keep, including the ones I can't share here. There is one that I know and I'm very sure I can never break no matter what happens. I've actually tried to go against it one time, it didn't work out and that made me realize it is one thing I can not do.
If there is one thing people close to me know about me is that, I never swear at people. You could pour all the insults and swears at me and I won't even imagine saying them back or using my own words to curse back, I just don't see myself doing that no matter how annoying a situation is for me.
Maybe I'm yet to be in a very serious situation that would warrant me using all the curse words I've heard in my life but I doubt it by 100% that I'll still use it. It isn't part of me and it will never be, I know how it started and I appreciate that time till today.
When I was like 9years old, there was a particular curse word I got used to and I still remember it very well... "Are you mad?" I would use it on my siblings when I get angry at them or on my friends when they mess up. But most often, I just use it even when I'm not angry because it was becoming a part of me.
Until one day, a neighbour called me to sit with him and said something that till today is playing a huge role in this moral of mine. I can't even remember the exact words he said back then but they were all a warning to me to stop swearing at people because no one deserves it. I thought and I knew it was going to be difficult to stop but the man never let me be until I stopped.
How I stopped using that particular sweat word to hating swear words entirely seem like an impossible thing but I've been living my life with that standard for many years now. I know it's kinda wrong but I tend to have a tiny hate feeling towards people who swear at others no matter how hard I try not to, maybe it's my way of constant reminder that I should never swear at people.
Even in addition, the Bible strongly warns against it. While I'm not trying to be the most righteous, I make sure to keep this warning in mind and it has contributed greatly in helping me keep my moral and raising the standard of my living. I've had friends tell me they like that aspect of me especially the ones who are so used to swearing at people even when they don't want to.
It is a standard I live by, my personal code of conduct among many others... Never swear at people!!!
