Bad words first

"Learn the Bad words first..."


This is the common thing I heard from the people whenever I have been to any place where I was not familiar with the regional language. I was in Andhra for a long time, and then in Tamilnadu but believe me I still don't know any bad word in Tamil except "Adda Paavi" and that too is not bad, it's in fact used in general conversation here. The logic behind learning the bad words first is too find out if somebody is abusing you... but the question is why should I know if somebody is abusing me. I feel that if I know the abusive words I will definitely react to that, and will put myself in a self generated problems. If I don't know, the matter will end then and there, and I will not have to carry a guilt or stress to back to home with me.

It happens very often to us that we hear something bad about us but can not react because of some or other reason, we are angry but can not do anything, we grind our teeth and keep the anger inside, we carry that ire with us to home , and eventually that leads to many problems. Ignoring something that will ignite a rage in you is the best thing one should do, but how to ignore. Simple, don't learn what you don't want to hear from people.

I have been definitely abused by many Autowalas here many time but I don't know what they are talking about. Whenever they show me a frustrated, raged face and abuse me I react back with a gag and long loud laugh... when they try to insult me I find that very moment very funny and I don't know why it forces me to laugh out louder. Ha ha ha...:) and rather than insulting me they feel utter shameful for what they have done.

They must be taking that insult back to home. I move on wearing a relaxing smile even after a great argument with Autowalas, and that's because I don't know what they were talking about....!!!
