Should we sugarcoat language?

No, I don’t say “Fuck’em.” What I say is that people who face adverse circumstances can use those situations for personal empowerment. It gives them a chance to deal with and heal past traumas so they can move forward and not internalize everything. I worked alongside a psychiatric provider and a therapist for several years and I can tell you that the people who dealt with trauma and adverse circumstances the best were the ones who allowed themselves to be uncomfortable and address what they needed to head on. They certainly didn’t make progress by running away and avoiding every fucking facet of life that made them uncomfortable.

Life carries far greater dangers than words. If a person can’t handle being exposed to certain words or kinds of speech then I don’t know how the hell they will deal with the real issues out there.
