Universal Language
What makes the use of naughty words so powerful? The power of the taboo, of course. That reality is universally recognized: Just about every language in the world contains curse words.
"It seems that as soon as you have a taboo word, and the emotional insight that the word is going to cause discomfort for other people, the rest seems to follow naturally," Byrne said.
It's not just people who swear. Even primates curse when given the chance.
"Chimpanzees in the wild tend to use their excrement as a social signal, one that's designed to keep people away," Byrne said.
Hand-raised chimps who were potty-trained learned sign language for "poo" so they could tell their handlers when they needed the toilet.
"And as soon as they learned the poo sign they began using it like we do the word sh*t," Byrne said. "Cursing is just a way of expressing your feelings that doesn't involve throwing actual sh*t. You just throw the idea of sh*t around."
Does that mean that we should curse whenever we feel like it, regardless of our environment or the feelings of others? Of course not. But at least you can cut yourself some slack the next time you inadvertently let an F-bomb slip.
After all, you're just being human.

No one raised a hand
One of my friends told me about a powerful lesson in her daughter's high school class this winter. They're learning about the Salem Witch Trials, and their teacher told them they were going to play a game.
"I'm going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you're a witch or a regular person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade."
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought gave off even a hint of guilt.
"Okay," the teacher said. "You've got your groups. Time to find out which ones fail. All witches, please raise your hands."
No one raised a hand.
The kids were confused and told him he'd messed up the game.
"Did I? Was anyone in Salem an actual witch? Or did everyone just believe what they'd been told?"
And that is how you teach kids how easy it is to divide a community.
Keep being welcoming, beautiful people. Shunning, scapegoating and dividing destroy far more than they protect. We're all in this together.

Mas no Amor...
"Mas no amor,
nós damos a nós mesmos,
comunicamos a nós mesmos a outro,
transcendemo-nos em auto-rendição.
Assim também no ser divino,
na realidade absoluta,
há movimento de amor,
auto-entrega, auto-rendição.
Deus se dá ao homem,
comunica seu próprio espírito,
seu interior ao homem,
mas isto por sua vez reflete
o movimento da auto-entrega,
de auto-rendição na divindade;
o movimento de autoconhecimento,
de autor-reflexo,
de autoconsciência em Deus,
é acompanhado por outro movimento
de auto-entrega,
de auto-rendição de amor extático."

Para os braços da minha mãe
uma fase especial
"A fase que se inicia com Buddha e Pitágoras, e finda com os Neoplatónicos e os Gnósticos, é o único foco, que a história nos depara, aonde pela última vez convergem os cintilantes raios de luz emanados de idades remotíssimas e não obscurecidos pelo fanatismo".
