Seriously?

Freedom of speech.

Are you sure that's really what it is?
If you ask me, that's just a platform for people to thrash others without worrying about creating a stir and insecurities in the community.
It's true you could learn a lot from hearing what others have to say.
But seriously, does it have to come with such a huge cost?
People beating over each for some stupid cause that they themselves are too immature to actually take some time to learn about?

There's a reason why people put limits to certain things. and this is definitely one of them. Yeah, rules and limits can be really annoying at times. but think about it again, would it be better if there weren't any rules? would people have better conduct without any rules? would crimes get lesser if laws were not created in the first place? would this world be a better place if people were able to do whatever they please? that would be nice wouldn't it? not worrying about the consequences of your actions? of course, that would only be possible if everyone living on earth had a heart of gold. putting others before themselves, being considerate, compassionate, kind, polite, patient...and well, the list just goes on and on..but just stop. we're not made of gold. finding someone with a heart of gold would be so rare and actually quite impossible (literally..hehe). so i guess the thought of not having any limits to whatever we do in life is quite unrealistic really.

what's so hard about accepting people who are different? is it such a threat to you that people dress differently or don't follow the trends of the century? does it worry you that people don't drink as much as you? does it harm you that people have different reasons to live than you?

that's the beauty of diversity. just take a step back. try to see it from a different light. this world is such a wonderful creation to be viewing it from only one end of the spectrum.
