Free Speech: Does Someone Lack Self-Control If They Harm Another Person For What They Believe?

While there are going to be times when one will come across people who have a similar outlook to them, they are also going to be times when they don't. When this happens, they could find that someone will have a completely different way of looking at something.

Part of Life
It could be said that this just how life is and that it is not going to be possible for everyone to have the same outlook in life. If they did, the world just wouldn't be the same, and it would be rather boring.

Even so, this doesn't mean that everyone will agree with this, and they could believe that the world would be a far better place. But regardless of this, they are not going to be able change how the world is.

Acceptance
There are going to be plenty of people how realise that not everyone is going to see the world in the same way they do. This could be something they are only too happy to accept, and it could even be seen as a good thing.

One could believe that they will be able to expand their mind through talking to people who see the world differently. There are naturally going to be moments when they won't be willing to change their mind, but there could also be moments when they will.

Two Ways
And, while one can change their outlook through talking to someone who sees life differently, they could also end up having an effect on the other person. Therefore, through talking about their views, it will have an effect on both of them.

Or, if one doesn't change their outlook, it could give them a better understanding of why someone believes something. When this happens, it will show that they have the ability to put themselves in another person's shoes, so to speak.

Two Parts
On one side then, one will have the ability to empathise with others, and on the other, they will also have a certain level of curiosity. Together, these two parts will allow them to enter another person's world.

One will put their outlook to one side for a short time and to experience how another person sees the world. It could be said that if one didn't have the ability to do this, they wouldn't be interested in doing something like this.

The Only Way
One could then believe that how they view the world is the only way it should be viewed, and if someone doesn't agree with them, they are going to be in the wrong. Through being this way, there is going to be no reason for them to be curious and to put themselves in another person's shoes.

This could cause them to label the people who see life differently as being wrong, and as though they are the only ones need to change. Now, there are going to be times when what someone believes is wrong, but one can believe that this is always the case.

Moving On
If one does have the ability to listen to people who see the world differently, it is likely to show that they are generally not ruled by their emotions. This is what is going to allow them to listen and to inquire, as opposed to getting out of control and letting their emotions get the better of them.

Clearly, if one was to hear something that they disagreed with, they could experience an inner reaction. Yet even though this could take place, this part of them is not going to override their mind.

The Key
What this will then do is give them the chance to listen and to ask someone why they believe something. As long as the other person also has this ability, a discussion will take place, and they will both be able to respect each other.

And if they don't agree with each other at the end, there will be no reason for one of them to harm the other. One could end up feeling annoyed or wonder why the other person won't see life differently, but that could be as far as it goes.

Another Experience
However, if someone is generally ruled by their emotions, it is going to mean that their mind is not going to have a big part to play in moments like this. Not only could they get angry if someone has a different outlook, they could end up causing harm.

When this happens, they could believe that what someone else has said has caused them to feel as they do. It is then not that they are in control of how they feel, it is that other people are in control of what takes place within them.

A Release
Through having this outlook, it is going to be natural for them to want to do something about what is taking place externally. As if they are not responsible for how they feel what else are they going to do?

Their behaviour is then going to be justified, and the only way for them to no longer harm others will be for these people to change their behaviour. And even though they are harming others, they could believe that they are doing the right thing.

A Closer Look
If one was able to take a step back and to look at what is taking place within them, they may start to see that the only reason they behave in this way is because they don't have self-control. As a result of this, it is normal for them to believe that the external world always defines how they feel.

And, as they don't have self-control, the only way of them to experience control will be to control what is taking place around them. If one had the ability to experience self-control and to regulate what is taking place within them, there would be no reason for them to harm other people for what they believe.

Awareness
When one doesn't have the ability to do this, it can be due to what they experienced during their early years. Perhaps this was a time when they were abused in some way and/or neglected.

These experiences may have stopped their brain from developing in the right way, and this is then why they behave as they do. From the outside, they can look like another human being, but that doesn't mean that their brain is functioning as it should.

The ideal would then be for them to reach out for the right support so that they no longer harm other people. But if someone is behaving in this way and they lack self-awareness, this is unlikely to take place.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
