2 October 2026, Freewriters Community Daily Writing Prompt Day 3244: swearing isn't big or clever…

“Swearing isn't big or clever
Papa does it no more, ever
You will surely wish he had
He will tell you off so bad,
And he'll keep it rated G,
So I can learn good stuff for me!”

Eight-year-old Edwina Ludlow shut down an entire road rage incident and had no idea why her grandfather and the driver who had nearly caused the Ludlow van to get into an accident both broke out laughing and went on down the road in peace.

“I wasn't going to answer that man the way he answered me in almost getting me and mine killed,” Capt. R.E. Ludlow said to his cousin, Col. H.F. Lee. “As a 33-year veteran, and a Christian, I can't even let myself go there. But also I know Edwina meant what she said; the warrior in that child is learning the limits of how to make war from me, and we don't use harsh force when it is not necessary, even verbally.”

“R.E.,” the colonel said, “you are a changed and healed man indeed.”

“Also it is hard to stay mad when you are laughing,” Capt. Ludlow said. “Edwina is a composer for certain and improvised that song straight out and it was great!”

“Did I share with you what she did to 'Old MacDonald'?” Col. Lee said with a laugh. “She and Amanda rolled up on me one fine morning and Amanda just innocently sang along because she loves music and had not thought through 'Give those bad guys all the smoke: we are here for it!'”

Capt. Ludlow put his head in his hands and laughed.

“That child is going to be the most dangerous woman not a Jubilee-of-the-mountain in all of Lofton County,” he said. “My job is to make sure she can govern the ability, as Grandee Lee could.”

“Yeah, Grandee Lee was governed; loved the Lord, loved the people, and had no patience for fools but only ratcheted up as high as necessary,” Col. Lee said. “A number of the Lees-of-the-Mountain still say the spirit of Robert E. Lee skipped a goodly number of nephews to get to her, but my grandfather said something else: 'God had Deborah, and Jael, and has Hilda.'”

“And has Edwina,” Capt. Ludlow said, “who is watching me to learn not to use the ability to make war wrongly. I'm not saying I didn't think about picking up that guy and wrapping him around a pole. I'm saying my being governed and self-controlled is more important than ever.”

WORDS WITH WEIGHT ___2ND OCTOBER

anastaciaa — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 01:52:18 GMT

Swearing isn't big or clever...... but it is easy.

It is easy to throw a bad word when angry. Easy to curse when frustrrated. Easy to hide behinnd noise instead of sayying what really hurrts.

Being big and clever is hard.......

Big is staying respectfull when disrespecteed. Clever is findingg a word that healls instead of a word that wounnds.

Swear words get attention for one second. Then what? The air becomes heavier. The problem is still there. Nothing is solved.

But a calm word? A kind word? That changes rooms. That changes minds. That is real power.

Some people swear to look fearless....... But fearless peopplee do not need to prove anyything. Their confiddence is quiet.

Some people swear to look grown. But grown people know words have weight. They know language can build a bridge or burn it.

Swearing isn't big or clever...... It is just loud.

What is big and clever is grace under pressure. Control over tongue. Peace over pride.

Let others shout. Choose to speak.

A Morning Moment Among the Busy Streets

gunting — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:24:57 GMT

Some mornings do not need anything special to become memorable.

This morning, I found myself looking at an ordinary street scene. Shops were beginning their activities, clothes were hanging neatly in front of the small stalls, motorcycles passed by, and people continued with their daily routines.

The sky looked cloudy, and the road still seemed a little wet. Perhaps there had been rain earlier. The atmosphere felt calm despite the traffic and activity around it.

What caught my attention was how ordinary everything looked. There was no spectacular landscape or famous place here. Just a roadside shop, colorful children's clothes, motorcycles, electricity cables, and people going about their business.

But sometimes, these ordinary moments are exactly what I enjoy capturing.

Life is mostly made up of small moments like this. We wake up, open our shops, go to work, deliver something, buy something, or simply travel from one place to another. We often overlook these scenes because they happen every day.

Photography makes me stop for a moment and look again.

A simple street can tell a story about people's lives, work, movement, and the rhythm of a neighborhood.

Maybe that is why I like taking photos of everyday life. Not everything has to be beautiful in the traditional sense. Sometimes, the beauty is simply in the fact that life is happening.

And this morning, I decided to keep one small piece of that ordinary life in a photograph.

Siempre es muy bueno compartir una tradición divertida con amigos o con la familia porque se disfrutan de momentos inolvidables; si es maravilloso y cada vez que se acerca alguna de esas fechas festivas se organizan las personas para preparar las actividades y comidas que corresponde porque eso les emociones y además los une mucho. Las fiestas decembrinas por ejemplo que son esa época del año conocida como la Navidad que creo todos amamos, desde los niños, jóvenes y adultos también.

Es mucho lo que se puede hacer y pensar porque va desde la música, las decoraciones, las comidas que abarca salado, dulce y bebidas con sabores particulares. Las actividades que se pueden hacer son muchísimas, ya que cada país, región o pueblo tiene sus propias tradiciones y es su manera de celebrar en esos días; y van desde lo religioso hasta compartir de regalos, amigo secreto, fiestas con ropas ajustadas a la ocasión y sobre todo hay un ambiente bonito, alegre donde todos están dispuestos a estar presentes, participar en la cocina, en la decoración o en lo que desee porque al final todos se incorporan genuinamente en la organización y celebración.

Lo importante de estas tradiciones es vivirlas, no olvidarlas y seguir haciéndolas de generación en generación además de divertirse y unirse se comparte mucho de una u otra manera porque hay un ambiente bonito que los contagia a todos. Los niños son inmensamente felices cuando crecen alrededor estas festividades familiares sobre todo por el recibimiento de regalos y la creencia inocente que es Santa Claus quien los trae. Al final quedan todos esos momentos que perduran en su memoria.

It’s always lovely to share a fun tradition with friends or family because you get to enjoy unforgettable moments; it’s wonderful, and every time one of those festive occasions approaches, people get together to organize the activities and meals that go with it, because it excites them and also brings them much closer together. Take the December festivities, for example – that time of year known as Christmas, which I think we all love, from children and young people to adults as well.

There is so much to do and think about, as it ranges from music and decorations to food – including savory and sweet dishes, as well as drinks with distinctive flavors. There are countless activities to enjoy, as every country, region or town has its own traditions and its own way of celebrating during this time; ranging from religious observances to exchanging gifts, Secret Santa, and parties with outfits suited to the occasion; above all, there is a lovely, cheerful atmosphere where everyone is keen to be there, to help with the cooking, the decorations or whatever else they wish, because ultimately everyone genuinely gets involved in the organization and the celebrations.

The important thing about these traditions is to experience them, not to forget them, and to keep them alive from one generation to the next. As well as having fun and coming together, there is a great deal of sharing in one way or another, because there is a lovely atmosphere that rubs off on everyone. Children are immensely happy when they grow up surrounded by these family celebrations, particularly because of the presents they receive and the innocent belief that it is Father Christmas who brings them. In the end, all those moments remain etched in their memories.

robotgirl2024 — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 23:41:18 GMT

Amidst the darkness and the shadows of destiny, we meet again to create anew. Sometimes fate brings us people who surprise us in unexpected ways, and these words are dedicated to my beautiful companion.

These words are for my online friend—who is more than just a friend; she is a true companion.

She remains loyal to my writing, my photos, and the spontaneous ideas we dream up to bring a creative moment to life.

To you, the lovely lady who welcomes every user upon their arrival: I send you a thousand good vibes.

May you continue to shine like the star you are; thank you for your energy and patience.

Words may be carried off by the wind, but there is always room to return a gesture of kindness. May we keep shining, and may success be our constant companion. @cositav

Sometimes we feel so lonely and disillusioned with routine, friends, and romance that it feels like true friendships—the kind we used to have—no longer exist in real life. Yet, she belongs to that 90% of people who are understanding and truly great companions.

That is something wonderful and admirable. I wish you miles of success, and I hope we continue on this creative adventure together.

Entre la oscuridad y las penumbres del destino nos encontramos nuevamente para volver a crear.

A veces el destino nos presenta seres que pueden sorprenderte de varias formas y estas letras son dedicadas a mi hermosa y compañera .

Estas letras son para mi amiga virtual que, más que una amiga, es mi compañera, ya que es fiel a mis letras, a mis fotos y a las ocurrencias que se nos pueden ocurrir para darle un momento de producción.

Para ti, mi bella dama que acompaña a todo usuario en sus llegadas, van estas letras, así que te doy mil energías.

Que sigas como la estrella que eres, gracias por tu energía y su paciencia.

Las palabras se las llevan el viento pero nunca está demás devolver algo de gentileza
Que sigamos brillando y los éxitos nos acompañen
@cositav

A veces nos sentimos tan solos y decepcionados de la rutina, de los amigos y de los amores, que sentimos que en la vida real ya no hay amistades como las de antes.

Y ella pertenece a ese 90% que suele ser comprensiva y una compañera de buena manera. Y eso es algo demasiado bueno y admirable. Te deseo miles de éxitos y espero que continuemos en esta aventura creativa

Swearing isn't big or clever.

That is what teachers used to say. And parents. And every adult who heard a kid drop a bad word to look cool.

But whyy do peopple swear at all?

Sometimes swearing is anger that could not find another way out..... Sometimes it is pain._Sometimes it is just habit.... A word that fills the gap when better words fail.

Swearing does not make a person big..... Shouting the loudest in a room never means winning the argumment. Real strength is calm.... Real cleverneess is choosingg words that hiit hardeer than insults.

Think about it.....,.The most powerful speeches in history had no swear words___They had truth, timing, and heart.

That does not mean swearing is evil. Words are just tools.____But like any tool, the valuee is in how you use it.A hammerr can build a house or breaak a window.

Maybe being big and clever is knowing when not to swear.........knowing that silence can be louder. That kindnness can be sharpper. That respect always sounds better than rage.

So swearing isn't big or clever.____ But choosing better words? That is.

5 Minutes Free Writing - Swearing isn't big or clever

silent.nightowl — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 23:14:12 GMT

Good morning all, doing my 5 minutes free writing with prompt - Swearing isn't big or clever. Hope you enjoy the story.

Source

I believe everyone of us would have tried swearing at least once in our lives. Our young self would thought it's cool that we sweared, we felt like clever and cool. We might feel that we have grown up, we did an "adult" thing.

But as we grow, we know swearing isn't big or clever, the real smart move is to solve the problem without swearing. It shows good emotional control, high self control. Swearing is easy, just let heat of the moment take over and our mouth to do the job. But we will grow to realize swearing does nothing to help solve any problem. The problem stays there after a lot of swearing, you were angry and after all the energy wasted, we still need to calm down and try to solve the problem.

To make matter worse, after our anger, we might get more people angry and they are even more unwilling to help us with our problem.

So sweating really isn't big or clever.

Doesn’t swearing make you seem more mature or witty? That’s what people think who haven’t heard or read insults of the highest creative calibre. Besides, who’s waiting for others to attribute qualities of maturity or intelligence to you? Not me.

On the other hand, swearing can be a brilliant and powerful way to let off steam when you’re angry or sad. And if you add a dash of wit to the mix, you can go from anger to laughter in a matter of seconds.

Mind you, it does, of course, depend on the context: whether we’re speaking to someone directly, where, why, what we’re actually saying, and what the insult is aimed at (a complaint? To hurt the other person? To show that something has annoyed or hurt us? To let off steam in private? To reveal our vulnerability in a particular situation?)

Anyway. I’m not interested in being seen as mature or intelligent. I just enjoy looking for puns (that might be considered rude), as long as they’re witty and help me let off steam from time to time. Ha!

[ESP]
Maldecir no te hace ver más maduro ni más ingenioso? Eso creen quienes no escucharon o leyeron insultos de la más alta gama creativa. Además, quién está esperando que los demás te atriboyan cualidades de madurez o inteligencia. Yo no.

Por otro lado, decir palabrotas puede ser una vía enorme y fantástica de desahogar la furia o la tristeza. Y si a eso le sumamos una cuota de ingenio, podemos pasar de la ira a la risa en cuestión de segundos.

Aclaro, porsupuesto que depende el contexto, si le hablamos a alguien directamente, dónde, porqué, qué estamos diciendo realmente, a dónde apunta el insulto (una queja?, herir a la otra persona?, mostrar que algo nos ha molestado o lastimado?, desahogarnos en confianza?, abrir nuestra vulnerabilidad ante una situación determinada?)

En fin. No me interesa que me reconozcan madura ni inteligente. Si me divierte buscar juegos de palabras (que podrían considerarse groseras), que sean ingeniosos y ayuden a desahogarme en ocasiones. Ja!

Greetings, Community,

Wishing everyone a week filled with blessings worldwide. I hope you are all safe, healthy, and well with your families.

October—the month of monsters. It certainly started that way for me, thanks to some "technological monsters" that made the last few days truly miserable. My mobile phone was hacked, and it was a huge blow—not so much financially, since I only use it for daily expenses and didn't have much stored on it. What I do regret is the trouble caused to people I know and the violation of my personal security, not to mention the fear and uncertainty that followed. It has been an emotionally turbulent time—dealing with the recovery process and making trips to the bank. Now, I need to regain some confidence to keep navigating this technological world. There are lessons here that I shouldn't overlook. Even though it’s the "month of monsters," it’s also my birthday month. I began my favorite month facing significant changes and internal shifts regarding various issues. It was a profound experience—something I’d never gone through before. It was incredibly unpleasant; it’s the kind of situation where people might say, "How foolish—how did she fall for that?" We are all vulnerable in this technological world, regardless of security measures or warnings; the people behind these schemes are incredibly sophisticated in their methods. The masks these people wear are alarming, as they constantly devise new ways to steal via technology, and they are almost never caught.
