Novelist Robert Louis Stevenson: “Sooner or later we all sit down to a banquet of consequences.”
I think the attitude that I can do what I want, say what I want, because I am free and unfettered exists not only in America. We find this often in America, though.
And then these people are criticized, lose friends, perhaps even jobs, and wonder why. Can’t I be obnoxious, hateful, hurtful and call it merely being my freedom of expression?
No.
We call it being juvenile. Immature.
A mature human realizes the wisdom of millennia of thinkers that “the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness, a restless evil, full of deadly poison.”
When we say things and do things, sooner or later we will sit down to a banquet of consequences. This may be a banquet without end.
