Survey Discussion: Freedom of Speech: Bestie or Enemy

Freedom of speech has always been a thing everyone is fighting for, but it seems like people are forgetting that in countries where freedom of speech is allowed, it has been abused greatly to the point of death for some certain cases.

We should all learn to control the words we spew from our mouth because there will always be consequences to our actions or words whether good or bad, and whatever happens you should expect it coming. If you say something nice expect people thinking you're nice, and if you speak your mind without giving a thought about how it could hurt someone or tarnish your own reputation, it may be your right, but at the end of the day the person who really suffers is you.

It is our right to say anything but remember what you sow is what you reap. That is why when you speak back to your parents you get grounded, that is why when you speak back to your teacher you get detention, that is why when you speak back to your elder siblings you get hit and isolated, that is why you're alone when you insult your friends without giving a thought about placing your words carefully.

Words are powerful things that can beam you up high and also tear you down low. It is definitely a friend to those who use their brains. When used properly it can hoist you up so high and help you gain reputation so let it be your friend and use your right to freedom properly and think before you speak. They say "wise men speak because they have soething to say, fools speak because they have to say something".
