I feel like we live in a time when words don't mean much. Or at least for me, words are getting less important. Saying "I love you" really doesn't mean anything when you say it to everyone. I say it to a lot of people, and I mean it every time, but I mean it in different ways. I say it to my friends when they do something amazing, I say it to my family when I feel like I haven't said it enough. I'm scared that one day when I say it, no one will care because they have heard it so many times before.
Also with curse words. I hear them and use them often enough that a good bit of them don't hold any special importance to me. They used to be things that were only said when one was feeling a strong emotion, but now they are just the words that are impolite to use in public.
Now, it takes so much more effort for words to have power. I guess it's not a terrible thing. We will just have to get more creative.
