Understand

I don’t know if its just the kids (and by kids I mean <18), but it seems that some more important things in life is losing its value. I’d rather not mention what I’m referring to exactly, but it might get pretty obvious. Why do kids think they understand this concept? Why do kids flippantly use this concept? Declaring it to any person they deem slightly interesting? Why? Don’t you think it is more appropriate to use a less heavy term? Rather than throwing around a word (s)he does not understand, seeing how (s)he uses it all the time.

See, exclusivity gives value to anything. The more exclusive it is, the more value it has. Therefore, you kids casually throwing this term around has utterly devalued it, the weight of this term is now almost void. This term should rightfully be like a verbal contract. It used to make whoever hears it truly understand how the other party feels. Now its just another word, because idiots who don’t understand it use it like a band-aid, to quickly patch up a small wound in interpersonal relationships, even if its a lie.

Understand. That is all you need to do. Understand a word before you use it. If you only think you understand, don’t. Because then its a lie.
