The Worst of Words

In life, there are some words you should never say. Actually, let me rephrase that. There is only one word you should not say. Every word has its purpose and right time to be said. Except one. There is one that ought to be banned from existence.

You should not utter this sound lest you wish to spend your afterlife withering in the most unpleasant of places in the underworld after a slow and painful death. In all likeliness, this is highly improbable. In my mind though, you might as well. To me, such places exist solely for these people, designers who think it's a good idea to make a pair of pants with fake pockets, and those mini-pop kids.

So you're talking to someone. Maybe they're a friend, family, co-worker, or even a complete stranger. Either way, you are conversing with them. And as you are carrying on with said conversation, the person to whom you are speaking with goes to say something. Before they can finish their thought though, they stop. And then they say it.

"Nevermind”

This is not okay.

You are not allowed to bring up a thought, or topic, or idea, and then take back what you've said. You must elaborate. You are not allowed to utter that dreaded thing. You've said it, so now say it!

If you only do this because you want attention, and for people to beg you to continue, then you have a serious problem. If the only way you can get attention is by inducing hatred, then you really ought to revaluate your life.

If you only do this because you want to seem all-knowing by withholding information, then ask yourself, "Do I really want to be in league with the fake pocket people?”. My guess is you don't. Everybody loathes them, and soon, everybody with loathe you.

So please, before you start to talk about something, be sure that you are willing to talk about it. There are no take backs. Not unless you want to pay a visit to Hades and spent the rest of eternity dragging a rock up a hill.

Thank you kindly!
