Downfall Of Society: #1

I am quite certain that there will come a time, in what will soon be history, where the world as we know it will come to an end (figuratively speaking of course-although I do not doubt that the world will come to an end literally speaking as well). When this occurs, we will most certainly have only ourselves to blame for many reasons. I believe that one of these reasons will be that we have no appreciation or respect for words. I truly wish that I could say the previous sentence with an "anymore" attached to the end of it, but I am almost positive that the era of Word Appreciation (if you will) is so far gone that the word "anymore" does not give the elapsed amount of time justice.
It is all too common to hear a person exclaim, "I'm so depressed!", or, "That girl MUST have multiple personalities or be bi-polar or something!" Clearly the people making these statements do not understand the true meaning, intensity, and severity of the words and statements that they are so carelessly throwing around.
Although it is awfully sickening that people use powerful and meaningful words so loosely, the worst part of this lack of respect for our magnificent language is this: Because words are tossed around so freely and words are not actually kept accountable for their true meaning, when one does use a specific word to mean a specific thing, the intensity, specificity, and power of the word is lost to those who are hearing it. To them the words "hate" and to "love" and "adore" are all worn out washed out phrases that can mean anything from dislike and loathe to approve of and to somewhat like.
Language was put in place so that people could have the opportunity to communicate and pinpoint to others ideas, feelings, and scenarios. How are people supposed to accomplish such things when meaningful words are becoming meaningless?
