FREEDOM OF SPEECH

While currently continuously listening to the new single of my most favorite boy band, I also keep myself updated with the reactions people give to this song. Having read tons of comments in youtube, I've got enough inspiration to blog about what I've always been keeping in my mind for long. Let's say 85% of the comments I've read were positive or maybe neutral, that's because they came from the fans who genuinely love the song (I'm one of them, hell yeah). The other 15% were more like direct attacks to the boys. Some called their music shitty, some called them gay, some thought Justin Bieber is better than them and Ed Sheeran, and some other called them another 5 versions of Justin Bieber. Alright, people, hold your thoughts right there, keep them to yourself, or let it out somewhere else that won't negatively affect the other people and their fans. If ones like something or somebody, just let them continue liking it because they're happy that way. Is it really necessary to show your opinions? Even if it is, shouldn't it be more appropriate to show it somewhere else? Come on, not on their channels, not on their pages, not to their private twitters, not in such area where your opinions will hurt so many people. You also like something else or somebody else that the others dislike, so imagine how you'd feel if people say so many extreme negative things about things you really really love. Also, the fans, I don't see how you should start saying bad things to the people who go against what and who you like. I don't see how you should start drama over these tiny things. If you like something or somebody, just keep on supporting them, and ignore the hates. Those not-wise debates by using so many bad words won't help anything. If you are to give critics to each other, make sure they will be constructive.

Okay, here comes to the point I'm dying to make. It's freedom of speech... Everybody has it, everybody is using it, everybody seems to enjoy using it, but I think many are misusing it also. It seems to me that they are taking advantages of the term "freedom of speech" to badmouth about whatever they feel like badmouthing about without giving it enough thoughts. It's like one day, they wake up from a nap feeling pissed by something, and just go straight to let the world know about it mostly through social networks. People these days, they seem to care less about how their little words could actually cause such a big fight. And little do they know that their words could actually cause pain to the others.

Promoting universal peace comes from almost every mouth of ours, but what we're doing is pretty much in different lines of what we want. To the people who started the freedom of speech, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. If I were you, I might be, as for now, filled with disappointments. From what I see, the misuse of freedom of speech has been worse ever since social media and social network has improved. Having said that, I'm not putting the blame on social media and social network tho. I know the intention of improving social media and social network was purely good.

You, readers, may wonder why I blog about this because for sure, this is not gonna make any change. That's right, this is what I want, tho. I just want to let it out on a platform where my entry is not really accessible. Why? Because people won't use their freedom of speech to start a debate here. I just want to embrace this little peaceful, calm quietness I'm having right now. These days, madness is everywhere, and peace and quietness are just so rare.
