Freedom of speech

Freedom of speech is a subject that most of the people speak about, it is here to stay and makes tons of people uncomfortable when it comes to the other person's opinion, and today we're going to talk about it and how to avoid disturbing the people around you.

Freedom

Freedom is a word that describes a person being free whether it's about his speech or free in general, but freedom of speech is our main subject for today. Speaking whatever is on your mind is wrong, and keeping quiet when you are angry is key to success. When we are thinking of freedom of speech, the rule is simple, you can say whatever you want, but thinking deeply into the subject, you can't basically say whatever you want because that will lead to problems and disturbance among people around you. People's thoughts and feelings matter and insulting them in any way, shape or form is strictly not freedom of speech. People nowadays tend to use this excuse to talk anything that comes on their mind, which is totally wrong. There are subjects you can not speak of in a bad way, such as:

• Religions, which you might be able to give your opinion about it but is probably better to avoid doing so. Respect all the people and their beliefs and do not insult any religion whatsoever, even if you are in an argument with someone from a different religion than you. Freedom of speech logically forbids a person from insulting other religions, as well as religious related prophets or people of religion belonging in the book of that particular religion, monks, churches, mosques and so on.

• Races, which is also forbidden to speak about because it is simply bad. Freedom of speech is not going to help a person's explanation on why is he being rude to another race or a person of race, whether he's black, brown or even white. We all are human beings and we all deserve respect and equality.

• Disabilities, which is as well a topic to be not spoken about with the particular person in a bad way, or in general, in public, or with families in a bad way and disrespectful way. If freedom of speech allows such and such topics to be discussed while providing the bad person with protection, then whoever created this rule is not a good person. We all have a mental state where we can actually think about whatever we need to speak of, and speaking good is always appreciated, and not the bad.

• Slavery, which is something that is disrespectful and should definitely be avoided. Avoid speaking about this issue with people from the particular "slavery" race. They can feel insecure and irritated from what you're speaking about. Slavery-racism times are over and we all, again, are equal human beings.

• Politic insults, well, in this subject people might disagree with me but insulting anyone not only politicians is wrong. Do not insult other people, rather find solutions and solve the problems with a sane mind, and if you can't fix a problem related to politics, then insulting them using freedom of speech is wrong, because it is still disrespectful to say from any person's words. Let's stay clean and avoid insults and swears as much as we can. Politicians can be strictly bad and even accused of terrorism, but insulting them or any particular person is not the way to go. Speak about the issue in a polite way and stay one step ahead from them by being respectful and not losing your respect like some politicians did.

• And other

Protection from the law

Freedom of speech do protect you from the law in some countries where the governments tend to silence people from different subject they want to speak of, and stating that "Freedom of speech" is a thing and reminding the law enforcements or police about that thing can surely help you in not getting locked in or beaten by the police, of course we're speaking in a situation that you might be in and that can be a riot or protest against the government persons or anything else. Politicians can be corrupt and will probably not care about their own rules and laws, but the police might take no action whatsoever, when you remind him about freedom of speech, since he's just a police officer and is commanded by the government to do such and such actions against the citizens.

Trouble and risk

Freedom of speech, used in a negative way towards a person, be it related to religion or race, or any other subject but in a hateful way can surely put a person's life in a risk. The person that is getting bullied by the one using "freedom of speech" to justify his words can take action against him by either arguing with him or fighting him, in rare cases someone's life can be in danger and death can occur, which is definitely what we do not want for anyone in this world, so having said that, staying safe as much as we can and avoiding arguments and fights that are related to topics such as religion, race, economy of certain country and it's politics and other is the correct way.

Conclusion: Freedom of speech is important and can protect us from being detained and locked in by the police or law enforcements, but using it in a negative way can impact us negatively by putting out life in a higher risk of death, coming from the aggression of the opposite person that disagree with the opinion stated, or heavy to not so damaging injuries. Avoid speaking about sensitive topics and stay safe everyone.
