The Entity

If you truly believe in freedom of speech, you have to listen to a lot of crap that you don't agree with. To have the freedom to say anything, means not only the popular opinions, it means everything...even the harassing, bullying, offensive, and hateful speech.

Everyone, including me,  is going to say something that offends someone else.   Words are just words and even though they can make you feel angry, hurt or offended they are just words.  We allow words to transform into an entity that can bring us to a bad place.

It might be nice to live in a world where no one ever says anything hateful or mean, or where you don't have to listen to anything that offends you but this world is just real in a dream because there are people who are hateful, ignorant, careless, cruel and insensitive in our world. 


You do have the power to ignore words that offend you or control the degree in which they affect you.  The people who really count in your world, the ones that love and support you.  Those are the words you should let into your life and take to heart, not the total stranger that could careless about who you are.

Remember you are in control and don't let someone else take that away from you.  Don't let words become the thing you start to fear...
