Freedom to express

We think..,We write!
When others think on our writings, they react
And then if when we think on their reactions, we manipulate!

The discussion in the lecture hall about the freedom of expression while you write gave an insight to what one thinks one wants to write and what one thinks one should write.
It shouldn't matter to others when one thinks and feels in one's writings. But it matters in the public sphere and one needs to keep in mind if the other will not get offended.
Freedom to express oneself is restricted. The world keeps debating, where one draws the line. It's difficult for others to agree on everything one says, that's true. Few asked, it's no one's business to agree or disagree on what the other writes.

But hey..what if one doesn't react to our writings..? Why am I even writing ?
We write making a conscious effort to invite and provoke views, agreements and opinions.
What if no one reacts?? There's no value attached to your writings (that's if you publish).
Intentional and diligently written readings need to be nurtured with comments and reactions. While writing anything, an author needs to be aware of the consequences or at least be ready to face them. The society may or may not like what you write.
Just the way one has the right to freedom of expressing oneself in the writings in any form...the reactions are also an expression that they are born with the rightful freedom.

Imagining the disagreements might want you to buy a silencer...but the freedom here might get restricted... legally!!
