Words Don’t Come Easy
Certain words have the power to destroy a person. They label the accused as beyond the boundaries of social and moral acceptance. Often they are used with just cause. But when these words are abused, misused, or misapplied and casually tossed out then they lose their power. Their meanings are debased, corrupted, and trivialised, the revulsion they provoke is diluted. Soon we are left with no words to accurately describe these abhorrent things. All that remains is incoherence and silence, and a fog on the edge of our consciousness.
