Should i just screw it and just be my dry and sarcastic self? Or should i be wary of what i say 24/7 like ive been doing for so long? (its getting a bit old)

Hello Mark…
There is a very important word in the English language… and it is “euphemism”… (the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant) …and, if you want more pleasure and less pain… the word describes a process that you should learn to utilize in your interactions with others…
You can always speak your mind… and do it in a way that is not offensive to others… offending people creates wars… and nobody ever wins in a war…
Also, you should be aware of the fact that the bigger you are… the more it should takes to offend you… someone with a low self-esteem will take offense at the least offensive remark… but a person sure of itself has realized a long time ago that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence… and, will be above pettiness from those who have not been blessed as he or she has been with that gift…
Good luck to you…
