Freedom of Speech

Bismillah.

Define freedom.

I'm pretty sure if this question were about to be asked to each individual you might not get a similar answer. But generally, freedom is when our action are not being controlled.

There had been a rising needs of having more freedom in speech; in giving opinions or thoughts. The question we ought shall ask is that are we really ready to have this kind of freedom. In the liking of having more room and less control on our voices, we have to accept the fact that we also have to consider other opinions as well. Well everybody have the rights to speak, right? But throughout my observation, this situation is rarely to be seen. It's ok to argue when you're not in the same boat but to force someone to be on board with you is being disrespect .  Especially when it is done ill-mannered and the worst is when you start labeling and judging those who are in the opposites school of thoughts with you. Who grant you the power to judge people thoughtlessly.

Avoid being too stubborn and think you are the only one who are on the right track. Stop being narrow-minded and open your mind to other opinions. Step out of that delusional world of yourself.

Hopefully, I have made some clear points there.

Speaking off keyboard warriors, this is another aspect that should be spoken off while I'm still on this topic. What's so good in becoming keyboard warriors. For me, those who are actively criticizing and pointing out the faults and flaws of others but hiding their identity behind that fake or anonymous account or profile, wow, you sure have lots of free time, don't you?

Be brave and exposed yourself. 

As one of the student leaders, I'm having a tough time dealing with keyboard warriors and those who are being too stubborn thinking they are the only one who are smart-headed and eager in being revolutionist and transforming the world to a better place. Free from being shackled by the management and authorities. Freed themselves from being chained to the law.

Being a part of Generation Y, I know we demand our voice to be heard but let's pay some respects in others opinions and thoughts. I'm not against whatever ideology that you created, fighted for or believed in, but I pledge for some respects.

Argue with facts. Avoid spreading slander and lies. If you don't know anything just keep silent or seek for the truth and that is by asking the right person.

p/s: I'm not being emotional. I just hope you can see the big picture than a part of it.
