What is a word you feel that too many people use?

“It’s like” makes me want to scream every time I hear it…

Don’t tell me what it’s like tell me what it is!”

“It’s like that truck is going to hit us mum.”

“So is a truck really going to hit us or is it as if a truck is going to hit us?”

Sound of loud crash.

“It’s like, I find that very upsetting.”

“So you’re not upset then?

“It’s like I am.”

“Then not?”

“It’s like you’re trying to confuse me!”

“I actually am trying to confuse you to help you to find clarity.”

“Why would I, like, need clarity?”

Nope it is or it isn’t. You like it or you don’t. You feel it or you don’t feel it. If you can’t state that clearly no one will ever understand you.

I like that kind of clarity 🤣

The other word that is used too often in our society is hate. I heard someone say yesterday that they hate someone they’ve never met.

I do not hate Nigel Farage, I’ve never met him, but I don’t like the way he’s behaved. Coming back to a party he started, bumping its leader who has been doing all the work, by making him President. Declaring himself a prospective parliamentary candidate. Winning and becoming a party leader.

In any other party that has to be done through a proper selection process. I don’t want a power grabber in power, I want a democratically elected person subject to the proper processes and controls. Not someone who appears to think he can circumnavigate all that. I don’t like that behaviour at all.

Used properly like is a likeable word. Hate never is. Emotionally we need clarity in life, to make the right decisions we need to know what we like.

If it’s like you think you’d like that, then it’s better to work out if you would like it, or not.

Thrilling Tuesday
