Living life euphemistically

The English language has developed a 'morally correct' way of saying many things, and euphemism examples are the best indicators of this. There are many phrases, words, or acts that when referred to in normal words bring out an astounded and offended reaction from many people. Euphemism examples are literary devices that attempt to disguise the offending part and replace it with a better sounding and less explicit substitution.

The birth of euphemism examples can be attributed to the spread of media, as more and more people started getting offended by certain words. Moreover, they also felt that these certain words had a negative effect on children and countering this became the moral duty of the people creating content. There are plenty of euphemism examples in literature as well, where the author effectively manages to disguise a certain part of the text that may offend certain sections of the readers.

For example:

“I did not lie, I just say something that is terminological in exactitude.”

Euphemistic language is sugar coating the society from the painful truth. Sometimes to hide the dark secret so that it will seems like something normal, common and not to be worried about.

I paint my crime.

You did something wrong, something bad, something evil.

You have the urge to shout it to the whole world but the consequences are deadly.

So how should you expose yourself, yet be just as safe?

A picture worth a thousand words.

Walter Sickert, a man of passion in art was one of those man with guilt hidden deep inside. With all the guilt trap inside his conscious, he have to find a way to ease his pain.

Walter Sickert was one of the suspects in Jack the Ripper chronology. 

His paintings, were one of the biggest clue the authority have against him.

His painting contain dark disturbing images of mostly women, looking lifeless and been visited by death.

The king and queen of rant.

Rant. An exaggerated continuous with that employ wit, sarcasm and humour to poke fun on a particular subject.

Rant is an art. And what should you do and apply to make it successful?

First, do have a clear topic. If you aren't clear what you're talking about and you don't define it clearly for the audience, don't bother trying to get on a rant.

Second, fill yourself with passion. A lot of comedians aim too low throws passion at misguided topics like 'clothes for pets'. A useful advice, use your real passion for the thing you're really worked up about.

Third is having the attitude. Try to go beyond 'oh great' and find a comic attitude that underlies the emotion, but a rant is not the place to mitigate your attitude. In fact, it's the place to 'maxigate' it.

Next are you had to have a point of view. Remember; don't lose yourself and your particular situation. Why are you so worked up that you have to take this rant to the stage?

Last but not least is do have momentum. A rant is a great place to practice fast-talking. Audiences love a rant because they know what ride they're on and their only job is to try to keep up with you. Your job, of course, is to try to keep up with yourself and not get derailed by your own momentum. A good rant is like a visceral mental high-wire act on speed.

Use your rants to work on your ability to milk more laughs from a given word, phrase or topic. And for God's sake try to have some kind of recording device running so after a successful rant  you can go back, analyse what you did right and maybe transcribe some nuggets to re-use or re-perform.

Learn ow to rant here!!

Praised him, I'm not!

The brutal assassination of Julius Ceaser , was led by Cassius and agreed by the other brethren. But could you imagine dying and someone you love, raised and teach the meaning of love to was standing in front of you ready to demolish the final breath in your lung?

Casca, the child Ceaser raised as his adopted son but given love just like a biological son betrayed him. Ceaser died in agony and shame.

Then emerge Mark Antony, a faithful advisor, a more faithful lad. Never been more ashamed and disappointed in anything more than he is in what Casca did.

In his speech he claimed he is not going to praise Ceaser, just want to set the truth on what Casca had said before.

According to Brutus Casca, who is an honourable man,

Ceaser was ambitious,

An ambitious man will always be hungry for power,

Ceaser refused to be king three times,

Therefore, Ceaser is not ambitious.

Thus, Brutus is not an honourable man.

According tu Brutus Casca, who is an honourable man,

Ceaser was ambitious,

An ambitious man is heartless and cares only of himself,

But Ceaser wept when Romans wept of poverty,

Therefore, Ceaser is not ambitious.

Thus, Brutus is not an honourable man.

No, Mark Anthony did praise his friend, but indirectly.

Acoording to Mark Antony, he didn’t want to praise Ceaser,

Ceaser was not ambitious,

Ceaser refused to be known as king,

But Ceaser wanted to be known as a dictator, not a king,

Therefore, Ceaser is ambitious.

Thus, Mark Antony praised Ceaser.

You're putting so much pressure on me!

What’s life without friends?

Friends.

What are friends?

Someone turned to me and asked

"How many friends have you?"

Why 10 or 20 friends I believe

And began to name a few...

A blessed one you are

To have so many friends

But think of what you're saying...

A friend is just not someone

To whom you say "Hello"

A friend is a tender shoulder

On which to softly cry

A well to pour your troubles down

And raise your spirits high

A friend is a hand to pull you up

From darkness and despair

When all your other "so called" friends

Have helped to put you there

A true friend is an ally

Who can't be moved or bought

A voice to keep your name alive

When others have forgot

But most of all a friend has a true heart

For from the hearts of friends

There comes the greatest love of all

So think about all this

For every word is true

And once again answer please...

How many friends have you?

After much thought I answered

I really only have just one

"It's You!"

A Friend Is Always Special

Because Friends Love You

Just Because You is you!

But friends are the one who define peer pressure.


I'm an example of peer pressure.

“Come on Nelly, it’s just a cigarette. It is so uncool of you not to even try,”

They are the one who says what’s wrong and right without any valid argument to support their reasoning besides “It is so uncool,” and “Come one, everyone else does it.”

But, no one like to be left out and that is why were always give in to peer pressure, just to suit in and be as common as the rest.

Elementry, my dear Watson.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, one of the greatest writers ever lived.

“When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains, however improbable must be the truth.”

Elementary process, one of the most famous ways in thinking critically is a process of elimination.

What did create this man as we know now?

Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Doyles were a wealthy Irish-Catholic family, who had a bulbous position in the world of Art.

Charles Doyle, Arthur's father was a chronic alcoholic. He was the only member of the family never accomplished anything of note. At the age of 22, Charles married Mary Foley, a vibrant and very well educated young woman of 17.

Mary Doyle had a passion for books and was a master storyteller and this passion in knowledge was passed on to Arthur. Her son, Arthur carved of his mother's gift of "sinking her voice to a horror-stricken whisper" when she reached the ending of a story.

There was little money in the family and even less harmony on account of his father's excesses and erratic behaviour. Arthur's touching description of his mother's beneficial influence is also emotionally described in his biography, "In my early childhood, as far as I can remember anything at all, the vivid stories she would tell me stand out so clearly that they obscure the real facts of my life."

After Arthur reached his ninth birthday, the wealthy members of the Doyle family offered to pay for his studies. He was in tears all the way to England, where for seven years he had to go to a Jesuit boarding school. Arthur loathed the bigotry surrounding his studies and rebelled at corporal punishment, which was prevalent and incredibly brutal in most English schools of that epoch.

During those gruelling years, Arthur's only moments of happiness were when he wrote to his mother, a regular habit that lasted for the rest of her life, and also when he practiced sports, mainly cricket, at which he was very good. It was during these difficult years at boarding school, that Arthur realized he also had a talent for storytelling. He was often found, surrounded by a bevy of totally enraptured younger students, listening to the amazing stories he would make up to amuse them.

This was one of the catalysts on Arthur’s passion in writing. He has the imagination and on a piece of paper, his imagination can be as real as he wanted to.

A happy man.

"Very few man can be genuinely happy in a life involving continual self assertion against public skepticism."-Betrand Russell.

What is the measure of happiness in a man? Wealth? Health? Love? Education?

The simplest way to define happiness is based on the individual itself.

Let me paint you a picture. Two man, the first one is a farmer and the second one is a doctor. These two man view their happiness in vastly different way.

The farmer, doing labor all day and the apple of his eyes is his farm. He plant seed, water them and care for them. And when his crop is ready to be harvest, his smile will crescent and his hard work is paid off. Some people view this as vain as the farmer is happy and amused to the littlest things in life.

A doctor. Studied in medical school for four years and trying to make this world a better place. His daily routine is attending to sick people and trying to put a smile back on their face. A doctor went into the surgery room, trying to create a miracle for a dying patient. He spend hours in the surgery room and finally he saved his patients's life. There is a smile on his face, after all this years of learning, going fighting through rocks and bricks in medical school and he succeed to achieve his purpose in life. People call him the savior in life and he is happy.

Yes, both farmer and doctor is happy but differentiate them? According to Betrand Russell, happiness is different for individuals. The happiness of the farmer differ from the happiness of the doctor. The education background will somehow differentiate the happiness you obtained.

Is it true? Try to reflect yourself and the people around you. Are you and people around you are smiling for the same reason?
