Grade 1 abuses
‘Motherfucker, sisterfucker, fucker, dick, dickhead, cunt, bastard, son of a bitch, son of a whore, asshole’
Grade 2 abuses
‘Loser, mentally ill, retard, idiot, stupid’
Grade 3 abuses
‘Dog, pig, donkey’
Grade 4 abuses – the ones I don’t consider as abuses at all
‘Uncle, old man, black scum, sambar, rice bag convert’
The last grade abuses – the culmination
‘Anti Hindu, anti-Indian’
Human mind is limited, and God has created us mortals that way. You cannot keep inventing new swear words every single day as none is born that creative. Unfortunately you got to deal with the limited options available and that is the sad fact of the otherwise useless life.
By the way you can try translating the above list in your own vernacular language, and you will realise that it is the same set of swear words that has been repeating since eternity. For example – otha (Tamil) – fucker, chutiye (Hindi) – asshole, pattinte mone (Malayalam) – son of a bitch.
(If you reread the above paragraph and connect it to the concept of Khajuraho temple, a big revelation may happen – don’t miss it ;))
And if you think I missed something vital in the list of swear words, drop me a mail to kennedig@yahoo.com – I shall add them and also give you your due credit.
Well, honestly all those abuses were hurled at me recently for my posts on – https://www.threads.net/@kennedigopalan that which inspired me to write this particular blog.
Imagine you are driving in your brand new Ferrari, wearing Ralph Lauren clothing, and a Tom Ford perfume. Imagine you are wearing The Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch and Men Dior x Air Jordan shoes. Imagine you are getting down from your beauty wearing Chopard sunglasses on an Indian road. What happens next? Reality strikes. You will be barked at and chased by 4 stray dogs (three males and one bitch) that has no understanding about who you are? Or what your worth is? And it is also possible that one of those dogs will come and pee on your Ferrari – just like that. That is how exactly you need to consider the concept of social media trolling and abuses.
Remember the dogs and bitches here are not at fault at all. They have limited brain power, they can decipher only few rudimentary concepts, and they have been behaving the same since the day the almighty created them.
From your end firstly it is quite possible that you feel that you should bark back at the dogs – well the dogs won’t understand that, and they might enjoy it in all possibilities. Secondly it is quite possible that you feel like taking a machine gun and shooting all the dogs down at once. But no, that is wrong, that is illegal and it is a sin too.
You may think of taking few stones and hurling at the dogs. Of course the dogs will run away, but then that ain’t the right thing to do again. So what do you actually do?
The best thing is to always carry packets of biscuits in your car and feed the dogs. They will wag their tails, eventually get tired and stop barking, and the next time you come to the same area – they will mind their own business.
And one final free advice – when trollers or abusers are the first to hurl abuses, it means you have already won, and have succeeded in establishing your point by posting your thoughts. They cannot stoop down more now because they cannot with their limited knowledge and intelligence ;).
All the best.
PS: A wise woman once told me that there is a major difference between the Whites and the Indians when it comes to dealing with difference of opinions. Indians will start abusing while the White will be utterly rude. It is a cultural thing, she said.
