Writting assignment: My Three LEAST Favorite Words.

Now, onto the words I don’t like.  One that I know I don’t like is selfish.  To make this easy here is the definition “devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, regardless of others.”  Being selfish is never a good thing.  In James 3:16 the bible states “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”  We were born with evil in our hearts including the trait of selfishness, so we all have to work on our motivations and fight against our sinful nature.
             
“You can’t do anything right!”  Now, when someone tells me that I can’t do something this makes me mad.  Maybe it’s because of me having a stubborn attitude, or just cause I like to challenge that person to prove them wrong.  But also, can’t is a very discouraging word.  I like things that are uplifting and put me into a good mood, not something that’s going to ruin my day.  This is why can’t is another one of my least favorite words.   
             
Now, my last word is pretty normal and understandable, fake.  Now when this word comes to mind I think of “somebody or something not genuine.”  Many things and people are fake.  In today’s society people like to try to be someone their not.  A lot of high schools have this issue.  Kids try to be someone their not to either fit in with a group of people or be accepted. From your clothes to your hair, a lot of people will judge you. If being phony is what it takes to not be judged, many times they choose that.  This nation needs more people who will stand up and be themselves to go against the flow.

  1. Can't can be a word of discouragement but also a word of love. When your parents tell you "you can't" They have your best interest in mind. It all depends on the heart behind the word. :)
