Right to be wrong!

Opinions are like arse holes; every one has one!
We often take liberties with our freedom and choose to overlook our responsibilities. Free speech is one of our greatest assets. So, what do we do? Make free speech, deliver unwanted unexamined opinions and shout aloud ‘freedom!’?
In class 10th there happened this event where freedom’s abuse was so living. We had one story in Hindi Literature which dealt with the elderly family members’ attitude towards the faster changing newer generation. ‘Annde ke chilke’ was about a typical new middle class family which showed the all-pervasive fights between family cum religious ethos and newer generation’s openness to adapt to changes. Young sons and daughters-in-law of an old Hindu mother have just converted to non-vegetarian diets, ‘Egg-eaters’. But the pious and deeply religious mother’s sentiments towards egg eating could not have let them be compatible in the house. They choose the mischievous path of disposing the shell of the eggs consumed by them secretly in the pass-by sewer after collecting them in their socks.
The dutiful eldest son discovers this one day and advises them, in good humor, to dispose the shell comfortably and properly as mother was ‘understanding’ enough to ‘not to see it even after sighting it’. This story terrifically depicted the intelligence and sensibilities of an old mother to the changing times and her conscious effort to adjust to it.
During the class test, a question was asked to explain and elaborate on why the mother would ‘not see it even after sighting it’. Other class mate, Vixxx, who would keep little busy in extra curricular activities, arrived in the test quite unprepared. After all, the brain was still alive and working, to handle the odds, he thought, like all of us do. He wrote down the answer that mother would not see it even after sighting it because such garbage always makes a bad sight!! And now, what a flagrant abuse of one’s freedom— to think and to write and give an opinion!! (Even though we all do this in one way or the other)
As his answer was laughed out at for his prolonged absence from the class resulting in such a hilarious mistake, Vixxx made a quarrel about the obvious logic in the answer. He wasn’t wrong after all, he continued to maintain.
Just recently, my good friend Mani was arguing that the recent Supreme Court verdict to instate women judges for all of the rape cases is highly gender biased, or connoting that judges do get carried away. Did he know any ABC of law, I thought.
Movie ‘Shool’ also shows one MLA in Bihar state-assembly who makes a fight on letting electricity be ‘extracted’ from running stream of water as, as he uttered, it was akin to ‘taking out the soul from a body’.
Gross abuse of democracy and Freedom of speech in an environment of ill-education
