Today I'm sticking with my Anything not worth fighting for is not worth anything theme from yesterday.
You can read that post here: Hurt
Though, on a drastically different topic I would like to comment on the subject of free speech. This could even be extended to the very idea of freedom of thought. Lately It's been such a hot topic (and somewhat controversial and divisive, if you can believe it!). Who would have thought that any rational and compassionate person could argue against such a concept.
Free speech has gone from a belief as a fundamental human right to one that ought to be regulated. But by whom? Who can you trust with such a fundamental right?
Certainly not politicians!
COME TOGETHER
Everything has become sterile
White flags of neutrality
Diversity but not of opinions
Tow the line
Or face the wrath of the oppressor's minions
I just want to be free
To think and dream in comfort
Without fear
Of Gestapo and Stasi militants
Enforcing tolerance
How queer
Speech police
Putting fathers in jail
For vocalizing compassion
Expressing concerns for victims of violence
Of ideologies of oppression
We turn a corner now
Are we free men or slaves
Our words are censored
Our thoughts coerced
Freedom is gained by those with a will of might
As Thomas wrote, I implore thee
Do not go gentle into that good night
Free In Thought
