I grew up trained to always be aware of the words I use. To always be careful not to use harsh words that may hurt or insult other people. TACTFULNESS. It's something you can't learn from books. It's something you carry on from your upbringing. It is essential as we are part of a society which we need to belong to to exist in this world. But some people, no matter how very well educated they may be just lack this trait. They don't care if they say foul words, if they may hurt people, if what they say is already below the belt. I wonder what kind of upbringing they had. They must have had a lot of verbal abuses growing up. I'm grateful I didn't have to experience such. I came from a family who value empathy and compassion towards people's feelings. I'd love to pass these values to my children. For the tactless ones....I wonder how they'll be towards their children. I pity their children and what they will go through. And it's sad that these children will also end up just like their parents.
