~Words~

Are all words created equal? Do all words have the same meaning?



My thoughts...if all words are created equal, and you believe the words that you are uttering, you should be able to say them in front of anyone...right?



OR, is this where the filter comes into play...???



Do we filter words because of situation or circumstance?



Love this quote...

“I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”

~Voltaire



One point of confusion with me today...I am sooooooooooooo tolerant of extreme behavior and words and actions and lifestyles...that today, I offended someone who is the complete opposite...today, a friend told me of a conservative action and I totally snubbed the idea (not really with words, but with tone and body language). I didn't mean to and at the time I didn't realize it. It wasn't until later that I realized that I have become so tolerant of radical behaviors that I was not tolerant of the opposite - conservatism.

This is something that I will work on - and, if it is any consolation...conservative ideas help me grow as a person...and experience ideology that I have not experienced in life...
