Freedom of speech is more of a duty than a right. If people actually understood that and its implications, a lot of things would drastically change.

I agree. That's an interesting perspective.

Rights protect our ability to speak. Duty asks us to consider the consequences of what we say.

Our word has the power to inform or mislead, to build or divide, to encourage or to wound.

The freedom to speak isn’t just about having a voice. It’s about choosing HOW to use it.

@CookieCrumbs thank you! As my father used to say "Put your mind in motion before you put your mouth in gear".

@CookieCrumbs

Duty asks us to consider the consequences of what we say.

And the consequences of saying nothing about injustice. Much more fundamental today.

@Miram
I agree with you.

We only wish others would not play deaf and blind to those who have the courage to speak about it.

If I want to yell out fart bubbles loudly that should be my right
