freedom to express

I say whatever I like. But I want to say it in a responsible manner.
I can be confrontational, provocative, even obnoxious. I will do that if the result achieves a certain purpose that I  believe is ultimately good.
Otherwise it really serves no purpose.
If what I say invokes distress, strife and hatred, then is that helpful or edifying?
If what I am doing is to satisfy my narrow self, merely to allow myself to "let off some steam", so that I don't get all cooked up inside, does that make me a better person?
I would rather shut up. Because there are other ways to let off steam. Run along now.

So Subhas Anandan has died.
He was a prominent lawyer. Had an illustrious career. A sharp minded legal eagle.
Well he is dead now. He will be going 6 feet under or out with the flame.
That just reminded me. Death is the great equaliser.
No matter how great or how low you are in life, we will all be equalised before the grim reaper.
So make the best out of the cards that you are dealt with. If the game plays well, great. Be happy. Enjoy the success. You deserve it.
If the outcome is not good, so what? It is not going to matter too much eventually.
Everything will be equalised eventually.
But how do you evaluate your life outcome in the first place? What exactly is a good or bad outcome?
After all, life comes as a package right? I say look at the entire package rather than focus on one or two narrow criteria, such as cash in the bank account.
