I am Charlie
My right of expression
Whenever I come across the tragedy of the #jesuischarlie I cannot help but experience emotions of anger and sadness. Journalist were brutality killed at the Charlie hebdo headquarters for expressing their opinions through drawing a cartoon.I understand that certain topics such as matters of religion are sensitive but really they can be addressed positively and not with this barbaric behavior.charlie hebdo shooting.
I just wonder what our world is turning into, we are human beings and we have our own opinions on some matters.
I strongly believe that we should be able to express our opinions without fear,be it politics, culture, religion or economy. It is our right as human beings given by the creator Himself.

- Is this how we are suppose to feel when we want to express our thoughts?
- Is this the new feeling for freedom of speech?
Jesuischarlie, I am charlie, I will forever share my opinions
Some say no weapon is greater than a pen, and as the former late president of South Africa Mr Nelson Mandela
once said '' for to be free is not merely to cast off one's chain,
but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others"
to me this words mean I can be whoever I want and I can say whatever I
like. I don't understand why violence should be used when ordinary
people, journalist and cartoonist express their our opinions in a
creative manner. This reminds me of the story where an artist drew the
president, yes it was a sensitive issue but it was addressed in a fair
manner and not death Joburg Art Fair removes Zuma painting
- May justice be served
- May this event never happen again in any part of the world
- May the Creator have mercy for all our souls, so for do wrong
- May love dwell in every human being
- May the saviors arm open wide and forgiveness find out hearts
- May the Creator protect all journalists and protect our opinions

its very sad how people treat another human being, every human being has a reason why he/she exist i personaly do not understand why people should be killed for no reason, why is it happening were is ubuntu?
ReplyDeleteExactly my point, no spirit of humanity exist recently. I mean if people do things to you and you don't like them you just move on, after all its part of life that whoever does not give anyone a right to kill someone for their own opinions really.
ReplyDeleteThe #JeSuisCharlie has to go down in history. This kind of thing helps the message last. Highlighting the problems of this world and the quote you used of the late Nelson Mandela sums it all up
ReplyDeleteThank you for perceiving it like that, this kind of attitude should be adopted by everybody in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is unconstitutional to kill someone just because you experience a difference of opinion. Life is hard as it is but to not be able to say what you want is not right, than again a question arise to ask whether it was for the same reason that our forefathers die for "freedom of speech."?
ReplyDeleteFreedom of speech we see on that video is absolutely not what our forefathers fought for,this is just a group or an individual who thinks that they have the ''power'' to control opinions of other people.
ReplyDeleteI am one for freedom and I don't believe in solving any issue with violence. but I have to admit that some cartoonist sometimes take things too far. religion is a sensitive issue, just because of democracy, its doesn't give cartoonist the right to overstep the line and draw images which are offensive. Through its all I don't believe Charlie was supposed to be killed. My question to you is what if these drawing appear to be very offensive to some people, what then?
ReplyDeleteIts very simple why not sue the person who drew the picture. By suing the cartoonists it was going to be better then killing them, ;because now they have destroyed the image of their religion, I for one believe that the religion itself is violent because of the barbaric behavior that was displayed.
ReplyDeletei think we all have the right to express our opinions, if we do it in a way that affect others images there is an acceptable way to deal with that issue such as suing the the person who damaged other's reputation, rather than killing them.
ReplyDeleteDeal with whoever is offending your beliefs or opinions in a more civilized manner not with death penalties. Rather sue the company and asked them to stop making jokes with what you believe in and give them reasons, they are human too and surely they will understand.

ReplyDeleteIndeed it's a sad story, nobody deserve to be killed just because their believes or opinions are opposite of yours. Conny thanks for your post it has shown me another perception of life.
ReplyDeleteThank you for having a positive perception I truly hope that the whole world could see this whole situation and work together to turn it in to a better environment, where anyone can raise their thoughts freely.
DeleteIt must be hell living in a country where people don't have freedom of speech
ReplyDeleteImagine leaving in fear to express your opinions, that is torture on its best level.
