Life As It Is

It's strange that I find myself semi-exhilerated by censorship. I talked about it in my first essay and I mentioned it in the interview for the censorship week. I think people get a sort of kick out of fighting censorship. It gives us something to band together over. We all feel passionatly about something for once and we find ourselves agreed on one subject. Oppression tends to bring out the best in us. That connection to the human emotion of fight really brings us together. This class has made us agree on something which is so rare in the world today.

Oppression bring a brotherhood among men. We all want to fight against something because it remind us of our primal need of war.

Something really comes alive in a person when they feel like they are right and the world that is oppressing them is wrong. We spend so much time fighting people who are censoring us that we never take a moment to really appreciate it for what it is. A reason to feel righteous.

When I look at literature i feel connected to something beyond myself and when I hear of people trying to suppress it I feel justified in fighting the forces that keep it out of puplid knowledge.

So we should take time to appreciate the fight for free speech and free literature, it's something that makes us feel alive in a world that is so routine and boring .
