"Ordinary love is selfish, deeply rooted in desires and satisfactions. Divine love is without condition, without boundary, without change."
You are all loved beyond measure.
I, like you, am a light-sound-vibration complex that resonates with others. I have hopes and dreams and ambitions, just like you! I AM, and so are you! Yes, we are one and the same, you and I.
Because it isn't profane. In fact, none of the words restricted on this site are per se; that characterization is only relevant in the context of social usage. If a child is a bastard, how is that profane? If -- -blam!-! -- I hit my toe, how is that profane? Is isn't. You're just a prude.
One can only stand to see strings of swear words so often (perfunctorily, without contributing to the message -- and quite obviously, this only diminishes their impact). But you don't see bastard being overused as a vapid exclamative so much as -blam!- and -blam!- and the like. Indeed, the very fact that it doesn't appear often though it isn't blammed indicates that people just don't use it, disparagingly or emphatically or otherwise. I think the blam filter acts as more of a bland filter than as a defense for the virgin eyes and fragile feelings from socially constructed sequences of letters.
