References to “God”
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
I continually hear people very unconsciously refer to ‘God’, in a very normal conversation even without realizing it. For eg: “God, I had so much work. “Oh God”, when am I going to get xyz done, when they see something nice”God”, that beautiful, “God”, I didn’t mean that. Why do people refer to “God” for each and every silly thing that exists? Are those references like a boxing bag or whatever they call it? It is obvious that the so called “God”is not going to respond to any of those references, why cannot people remark with more meaningful words? I have never heard people use sane expressions while showing ecstatic emotions, or joy or sorrow. Do you ever hear people say “O thank big bang”, its such a beautiful morning! or Oh Sun, its such a nice present or something like that?. People really don’t change much at all, no one makes resolutions like I will use sane expressions, use sensible words in every conversation. My daughter is 8 and she comes back from school with such words or when I hear her talk to her friends I realize that in this country [US] at least [since I am here], there is no conscious effort by people to talk correctly or use correct English. I see it more and more, people use all kinds of words , but somehow another accent is totally confusing to them. Wish they would encourage good English and correct use of words in school. I do not think such changes will ever happen, because no one ever thinks that the way things are going might be wrong. I only hope when my daughters are older and they’ll realize that. A chance of that is quite less of course, because they would have been brought up in this kind of environment.
