There are those symbols of disrespect as well as respect that people are quite familiar with, of which, the preeminent symbol of disrespect and of non-verbal cursing the other, is the display of our middle finger, which serves well that purpose of our utter contempt of the other -- often done so, when words either can’t be spoken, because it’s car to car, or in those other situations in which one’s opprobrium of the other suits the symbolic cursing as contrasted to verbalizing such. Whichever it is, verbal or symbolic, cursing the other is something that is seldom misinterpreted by the other, and can therefore lead to all sorts of hostile events, welcomed or unwelcomed.
The thing about the middle finger or cursing out the other, is the salient fact as to whether or not the person doing such, has bothered to take the time to ascertain as to whether what they are doing serves any higher or good purpose and when in those cases it truly does not, which is often the case, then a reasonable person has to wonder as to why this disrespect is being displayed or verbalized, when it really isn’t necessary to do so. In other words, before we curse out someone, we ought to think about whether what we are doing is actually constructive or, more probably, destructive, and whenever it is destructive and negative, perhaps there is a more appropriate way to deal with whatever problem or issue that has occurred, that precipitated this.
Indeed, whenever we display the middle finger to the other, there are going to be those times when we initially feel really good and satisfied about doing such, but unfortunately as in the case of eating too much dessert at one time, we may well regret it later on, as perhaps being inappropriate for the supposed offense that we have suffered that cause us to act out in that way. This signifies that those who react far too quickly to an alleged insult or infraction by responding through curse words or through a symbolic nature which represents the same thing, ought to consider that there may be more mature ways to respond, or whether or not such deserves a response, in the first place.
It has to be said that there would be far less cursing if we would consider well our alternative responses, and therefore, by doing so, would serve to reduce conflict and argumentation between one another, especially when, in perspective, we realize that such a response really wasn’t necessary to begin with. After all, just because we feel like responding, in kind, to an insult or disrespect does not mean that we necessarily should or ought to. At a minimum, we should take the time to consider our options, and by doing so, we will end up cursing less, and just being about our business more, which makes for a better construct, and leads typically to far less regret and far less bad feelings.
