Freedom of thought may be limited by pressure or repressive actions.
Use of freedom
One of the rights of all human beings, and yet the one that most often intimidates them with its potential dire consequences, is freedom of thought or expression. In childhood, people are usually characterized by spontaneity and sincerity, without caring about the impact of our actions or words . It is very common for children to talk to themselves and let their imagination fly, ignoring a group of adults who look at them tenderly. The same degree of nonchalance is perceived when they say with absolute sincerity that they do not like a gift or a plate of food.
Over the years, structures and mandates gradually turn us into limited beings, who seem to gradually lose control over their own lives. The main problem is that we want to believe that this is not so , we deny it, and we assure that we live freely, that we choose the direction of our lives at every step . However, those people who once smiled and were amazed at the little things, today race against the clock to complete the innumerable tasks of their busy days, they are ashamed of their bodies, they are afraid to tell the truth so as not to offend others. Others hide their sexuality and their ideas for fear of attacks from those who cannot stand diversity .
Pressures and limits to free thought
Our freedom of thought is restricted by society in all its aspects, and attempts are made to make citizens accept the limits with subtle manipulation techniques and, when these fail, repression is applied.
It is common to find newspapers, magazines and newscasts where certain words that do not favor the government in power cannot be mentioned , television channels that incite violence, discrimination and contempt, as well as decisions by Justice that support aggression. to animals, as is the case of fines for those who protest bullfighting .
