Yet again, a post which is due a long time ago. Well, its my blog and it depends on how actively i want to update. Lol, why do i always feel that everyone will get angry if i don't update my blog.(pst pst.. they did told u why the heck u didn't update so does that count as getting angry?). Urmz, yeah ok.

This edition of my post will be a well planned and well thought out as i have announced in my previous posts. So well here it goes.

Sarcasm. The ability to use word as an offensive method to go against someone which u feel that their opinions is disagreeable. Or in nowadays context, used as a joke. I maybe be bias in this discussion about sarcasm because personally, i hate sarcasm in any form because it is entirely unnecessary and childish to be acting that way. Anything can be solved through discussion and compromising. Well, unless it gets ugly and people takes arm and kill people to gain wat they want, which is the extreme context if a discussion goes wrong.

As usual, there are pros and cons to almost everything. Well i would like to say that there must be a reason as to why people would depend on sarcasm to defend themself.

Sarcasm is used to defend themself as it is harmless yet powerful when used against someone with a weak mentality and emotional capacity. To use an information or so called 'weakness' of ur opponent, twist it in a way where it is to the users advantage thus gaining a higher chance of winning against the opponent. Sure, it does sounds wise to solve something without using the fist but as you know, when this skill is use as a weapon to intimidate someone else or to ruin a person's life, it does makes us think whether this sarcastic behaviour should be allowed.

As all good things that comes out from man, there will be a certain individual who will abuse it. So goes for sarcasm. Using it to pin point someone weaknesses, attacks it with every personal insult that a man can think, leaving it wrecked by the end the whole ordeal is done. Well, that is kinda way off the topic but let me relate that to the topic again. To be sarcastic, u have to pinpoint a weakness of the person u want to destroy. Thus by doing that, u can indirectly prod on it until the person feels that he/she is being intimidated. Continuous sarcasm on the person's weakness will cause that person to feel angered and embarassed, making the person have low self esteem thus destroying the person with further sarcasm attacks. Get what i mean?

Thus, the main topic here is about how a person uses a skill and for wat purpose, what intention. Its sad to say that nowadays it is being abused rather than used for self defense. Whichever way u put it, sarcasm is somewhat of a weapon. Used to protect urself, by in order to do so, injuring the person who is trying to injure u. Abused, it is used to destroy someone else. Thus no matter how u see sarcasm, no matter how u see that sarcasm is necessary to protect ourself, it is still an offensive skill, meant to hurt someone either way. In conclusion, if sarcasm can cause these kind of thing, any utilising of it comes with the intention of hurting someone else. Thus, shouldn't this sarcasm be avoided? My personal opinion, i think we should avoid using sarcasm as discussed above considering there are other ways to resolve something.

Gahah, well that sounds like social studies, but trying to discuss the need of sarcasm in everyday life. My personal opinion should be respected so that i can respect ur personal opinion. Drop comments if u have different opinon.
