Thursday… This and that

 Picture if the day.



Now for today’s Stuff:

Some words don’t fit my vocabulary. One is the word ‘evil’ used in reference to people I know. At times I might mention a person in the news, and someone nearby might say, “Didn’t you know he (she) is evil?” Nope I didn’t know that.

Hate… Just today I heard someone say, I have had a big problem trying to get over my ‘hate’ for someone. Hate to me is a terrible word. Worse than ‘detest’ me thinks. As of this time and the last couple hours, I cannot think of anyone I have ‘HATED’. I HAVE MET A LOT OF FOLKS I DISLIKE, but not HATE! That seems like a very MEAN word to me.

I have heard many ministers say, I hate the sin but not the sinner. I can go along with that.

I hate to hear of terrible murders, child molestation, etc I guess I find it easy to hate an act, but not an actor.

I guess I am a ‘Flower Child’ I do use Love to often, maybe.

And there are words I am having trouble wrapping my mind around such as:

Trolling (to me that is a form of fishing)

Is there a word today that surprises you in its use?

Apparently, my youngest grandson called his grandpa goat the other day - we wondered about it - then we realized it was a compliment. lol

I thought "glazing" was something you did to donuts! LOL. I don't understand the lingo today either. I just stick to the tried and true words that I know. Like, "cool", "groovy", "supercalifragilisticexpialadocious"....I guess that sounded rather precocious. LOL. Have wunderbar day!!

I have learned, like you that hate is too harsh of a word. I do dislike s lot of things. But I'm more of a lover.. there are a lot more things in life that I love.

Fun post!
Yes, I can still hear my mother's soft voice telling me, "You don't hate." Foolish, headstrong ... her disappointment most likely went in one ear and out the other.
I'm going to have to think if there's a word or expression that's surprised me ... meanwhile, I'm thinking this post makes me a whole lot smarter around the younger generation. LOL!

I'm surprised how many people curse and say bad words!!!!
Hate is a strong word and I try not to use it. Sad to say there is so much hate in the world now a days!!!!

I heard that a word worse than hate is apathy...just not caring at all. When you love or hate that emotion can be changed but sometimes I think apathy says "Close the door, I just don't care at all"...end of story. I really can't think of anything or person I could use the word hate for. Well, maybe cigarette smoking...I do hate that. I hope things have warmed up in your neck of the woods!
