Freedom of Expression and Morality

Who's job is it to fix our world? 


Who are "They"? These people who are responsible for fixing the problems in our world. We point the finger at "They", this supposed superior group called "They" apparently are capable of fixing society. I have yet to meet them. I'm puzzled about their existence because I'm certain that "They" do not exist.

All this, "They need to stop this and that" is such a controlled mindset of victims. We are not victims of our society but our society is a product of US.

Our world today is a reflection of us. Collectively we form what has become of it. If the world is messed up, so are we! We are the people who inhabit it. We allowed the mess to take place and we continue to extend its right to be present amongst us. Everything presently wrong in society is due to us not doing enough to resist it or by us simply allowing it to take place through tolerance.


Freedom of expression. How far is too far?

What is freedom of expression? I'd really like to understand it. When did freedom of expression and the right to be who you are become the right of passage for wrong doing? Nowadays when someone is doing wrong they can no longer be corrected because we all have been given the card to be anything we want. Can we not be what we want to be within the bounds of morality? 
This is what I understand as "freedom of expression"; The right to express your ideas/opinions and interpretation of matters through writing, speech and any medium of communication, BUT without causing harm to others and their reputation or character by false and misleading statements. So with this understanding, where or when did freedom of expression mean to be moral-less or careless to the effects of our behaviour?! Is morality bounding to freedom? Is our freedom and right to be as we please the passport to wrong doing ?

Blame?
We are to blame for the problems now presently ruling society. We say, "Oh its OK, be what you want and do what you will like, you have the right!", Yes that is very true. But you have to also be considerate, responsible and not detrimental to your surrounding. All behaviours have a cause and effect. If the kids in society today are off the rails, then what was the older generation doing? What did they deem OK in the crucial times when the younger generation's mindset were being moulded? Every generation is accountable for the next. You now cannot look down at the younger generation with judgement and say you have lost your ways, because you raised them this way. The things you were meant to prohibit you allowed. Consequently we are now in this vicious cycle and we are just going down the hill as a people. Our morals and values are becoming more minimized from large prints to barely readable font. We are scared to cause offense if we speak up because of the fear of violating someone's right to be immoral or what-less.



Solution! "We hold the key to fixing society!"

We need to wake up and take responsibility and stop waiting for "They", because they are never coming. But you and I are here today and it's our duty for the generations to come, that we take care of today. There's never really nothing out of our control to create change. To some extent we can all do something to cause change. The change you create may be in small parts, but it's the small things that form the big picture. There's a desperate need for a revolution of the mind. If every person looked to themselves for a solution, then the world would somehow be different. How can we expect others to fix what we see wrong if they don't see it. 

Do something today.

Consider everything you see wrong and what you can do about it, whether it simply be that you raise awareness. DO something today so that tomorrow is a better place for you to raise your kids and your kids to raise theirs. The state of tomorrows society is dependent on what we deem acceptable today from our small circles of influence, home, friendships, etc. What we tolerate today forms the moral compass of tomorrow and dictates the influences, which will affect the upbringing of our kids.

Say something! Correction starts with you identifying what is wrong, then doing something about it.....Yours Truly Viviane.
