There's no point in living if you can't live freely. The freedom to express what's in your heart in whatever way possible - through speech or action, written or oral. Also to express without any hesitation or fear. All art comes from being free or a desire to be free. And so does revolution and courage.
Freedom is power. But, as a beloved comic book character has taught us - "With great power comes great responsibility". One has to be careful, cautious and concise when expressing.
The internet is more or less a parallel universe, a wonderland if you will. But, if there's anything that Lewis Carroll's story about a young girl falling down a hole has taught us, its that even a wonderland is filled with vile creatures.
There are those blatant, shameless and ruthless. Their very idea of existence on the internet is to offend and Anonymity is the jewel in their malicious crown.
Anonymity, in my opinion is the easiest way to avoid responsibility.
Then there are those, who with the convenient excuse of wanting to curb the offenders pretty much start a petty propaganda of their own.
Censorship. Now that's another sinister method to escape responsibility.
Express. Be free. the internet is our canvas and we have the best of colours in our possession, but also be fair and responsible. For the best freedom is the one with responsibility beating vigorously within its heart.
