What does hurt you?

Will you be (feel) hurt if someone scold at you

call you names, or would you feel insulted?
Do you scold back or do you prefer to ignore it?

I have had a abusive life,

but I was not allowed to shout (keep your voice down), scold or curse (if so my mouth was washed with soap and no CPS did not show up).

They say it is healthy to scold.

At least it is till a certain point. It can be a way to de-stress. Personally I have doubts about that. Scolding (and cursing) never made me feel better. If you are always so stressed out you can only shout, scold and curse, you have a serious problem.
None of my friends and also, none of my children, are scolding and it is rare if they curse.

I am aware of the fact the society is changing.

People are getting more and more intolerant and aggressive. There is not much you can say or they feel insulted (or you insult their religion or god or family or country or...) and claim they are discriminated. They express their feelings by shouting, scolding and cursing.

This way they believe they can manipulate people and even governments.
Strange thing is those who are shouting at loudest never do recognize people who are really discriminated or hurt. I also doubt it is de-stressing them.

It is not funny to make a fool out of someone!

In many cases just kidding around does hurt people. If you do so, you are a bully and it is time to have a closer look at yourself.

Keep in mind that if it comes to it, sooner or later, we all can be hurt of have our fears. We all might have a come out one way or the other (instead of wearing a mask forever). So think before you speak. Just because you say a word a million times it does not mean it lost its meaning, but it does say a lot about you.
