The price of being heard...

Freedom of speech is a constitutional right etched in law, not granted by courtesy. But how we use that right is where character shows. Responsibility in speech isn’t an obligation...it’s a reflection of inner maturity. Civic discourse doesn’t silence dissent; it simply expects a baseline of dignity and civility. You can be factually correct and technically sharp and even morally certain, but if your delivery lacks grace...your message gets lost before it ever lands.

Decency in expression isn’t a formality; it’s the silent credential that earns you the right to be heard. We live in a world that is quick to speak, blitz fast in judgment, and slow to listen...and grace remains the price of being heard.
