Regarding freedom of expression

posted on October 11, 2011 at 8:54 pm

From “On Liberty” by John Stuart Mill:

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

    I agree with what you said, but we can’t express whatever we feel because it’s not safe doing that. Some people may understand it wrong and sometimes it could lead to problems. Whenever we want to say our opinion we must first think about what can happen because of it.
