Against The Holy Spirit - Luke 12:10

Luke 12:10 NASB 
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

Why is ok to speak a word against the Son of Man but speaking a word against the Holy Spirit is blasphemous and will not be forgiven?

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Jesus took on the form of our humanity in order to be rejected and die for our sins. Jesus came to save, not to judge. He would become the very sin that was incompatible with God. Resurrecting to new life through the power of the Holy Spirit, grace is made available through that new life. 

The Holy Spirit is the pure Spirit of God. To blaspheme the Spirit is to blaspheme God. Attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to the darkness of Satan and his demons when He is part of the light will not be tolerated. 

It is darkness that rejects the light.  The light will prevail.
