MyWords

Be wise not to abuse the speech

we consider free and enjoy in this country.

I have lived in or visited countries

where people died for giving speeches.

Free speech is not a license to utter anything

that comes to mind without a filter.

There is a syndrome for that.

In the wake of recent attacks

I have seen the best of humanity

I have seen the worst of humanity.

All I wish is that we had empathy

That we considered others 

from time to time.

That we craved wisdom

And that we wished for understanding.
