Ergo, without doubt, except we derive pleasure in denying facts, curse comes true. Especially when the curser was wronged. Maybe the Yorùbás had this mind when they would repeatedly say, “curse comes true – if it doesn’t now, it will sometimes in the future.” Saying that, they struck the dead on chord. Is it bad or good? No two ways about it, not only is curse abominable, it is far from being adorable. Its likelihood to bring doom is enough a reason. Its filthy–laden words further prove that. In fact, those seem unconvincing. On radio, television, newspapers and other media platforms that know their salt can,
and will, never air foul–words or cusswords in their broadcasts, reportages and coverages. The words of your mouth, “if you can’t make it good, at least make it look good,” is the admonition of Bill Gates that comes to mind.
Going spiritual, scriptural lines talk so much about the topic of discourse: Curse. In the description of who a true believer is, the Qur’an has it that “…And those who turn away from Al-Laghw (dirty, false, evil, vain talk, falsehood, and all that Allah has forbidden)” (Surah Al-Mumenoon, Verse 3). The Bible too wasn’t mute on this concept. In Ephesians 4:29, we were told, “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto hearers”. The Bible didn’t stop there; it took a step further by saying in James 3:10, “Out of same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be”
From the foregoing, it is explicitly plain that curse is forbidden and not a noble act, Quranically and Biblically, and more liberally, it is unideal. This is further buttressed by the fact that in places of joy and even grieve, prayers, well wishes are what are being mouthed for goodness boom –
as opposed to curse that spells doom!
In closing, wrongdoing from person to person is inevitable in the human community – even in the animal world. Cliché has it that we agree to disagree and we disagree to agree. So, the fact remains that in response to
disagreements and misgivings, cursing or foul–mouthing is not the way to go. It is logically faulty to be a choice; and not just that, it is mentally repulsive to even think otherwise. It, being frowned at by the Sacred Scriptures and ideal standards, are, surely, enough reasons to uppercut this ugly act. Also, coming to realise its unpalatability to the earshot of
the public is a confirmation of its goriness. As humans, the being with refined awareness, sense and thoughts, we must flee from it! So I ask, why curse when you can comfort? Comfort don’t curse!
