Big Versions of Ourselves

What is vulgarity and/or coarseness a replacement for? It seems to be a surrogate for authentic emotional connection. Or perhaps an indication of our lack of courage to really be ourselves with one another. It is certainly a poverty of spirit. I'm beginning to think that when vulgarity takes over a culture (or person) it indicates the culture (or person) is starving to death in some way. It's a ritual that expresses a collective loss of spiritual and emotional nourishment. Love is meat and potatoes. . .vulgarity is sugar. It takes a lot of courage and skill to avoid vulgarity and to be emotionally sober and loving in our culture. I'm not talking about being all sour and drawn-up inside. . .I'm talking about emotional and spiritual health. . .the expansiveness of spirit of a "Mother Teresa" as opposed to the withered and barren soul of a "(put your fave celebrity and/or politician here)". But I'm not bashing celebs or politicians. . .they are just big versions of ourselves. In fact, maybe their real purpose in the overall scheme of things is to simply help us see ourselves better. Yikes!
